The Blues Byrds
WELCOME EVERYBODY !
The Blues Byrds are the inevitable collaboration between one ocean and two humans.
Michael Lyzenga and Andrea Cremona began recording long-distance in February of 2009 with their first song, Overseas. From West Virginia USA to Travo, Italy, many digits of code were passed back and forth through the ether-net until this song came about.
Many more songs are in the works and will be added to our playlist very soon.
We hope you enjoy the songs we've uploaded and stay in tune for more to come !
