Maygen & The Birdwatcher weave a rich tapestry of Americana, blending folk and country with an eclectic twist, crafting a fresh take on bluegrass-infused folk. Lead singer-songwriters Maygen Lacey and Noah Neumann began as a duo and quickly realized their sonic vision needed more. At the heart of their sound is a collective of talented musicians. Multi-instrumentalist Nik Pellinen adds depth with his banjo, lap steel, and harmonies; while Jesse Moravec brings a vibrant touch with mandolin, fiddle, and harmonies. It’s a hyphenated hybrid that can come only from a seasoned and tightly knit band.
With a sound that’s both familiar and innovative, Maygen & The Birdwatcher have garnered accolades like Album of the Year, Americana Artist of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year from the Midwest Country Music Organization, and have had their songs featured in Spotify's Indie Bluegrass and New Grass playlists, Minnesota Monthly, 89.3FM The Current, and many others. They have toured the country and shared stages with the likes of Sierra Ferrell, Old Crow Medicine Show, Grace Potter, The Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Indigo Girls, Yonder Mountain String Band, Molly Tuttle, Lindsey Lou, and The Last Revel.
Their latest offering, Leap Year (released August 2, 2024), invites listeners into a contemplative journey inspired by the celestial themes of 2024, reflecting their unique blend of instrumentation and vocals. As Maygen & The Birdwatcher continue to evolve, they leave fans eager for more of their original, captivating music.
