About Passerine:

Founded in 2009, Passerine has been featured at music festivals around Florida and has been touring nationally since 2012, playing every sort of venue from intimate listening rooms to big festival stages. Their music occupies a zone somewhere between modern folk, progressive bluegrass, and what is loosely called “Americana.”With original songs as well as their own arrangements of traditional songs, Passerine hopes to carry on the living tradition of acoustic folk music rooted in popular experience, memory, and shared wisdom. In this quest, they have found inspiration across a wide musical spectrum: from Ralph Stanley and Bill Monroe to Lucinda Williams and Old Crow Medicine Show, from BobDylan and Neil Young to Cracker and the Black Keys, from Kate Wolf and Nanci Griffith to Amy Winehouse and NekoCase. By combining diverse musical interests with instrumentation usually associated with a traditional string band and with vocal harmonies that sometimes move outside the usual structures, Passerine has created a sound with a personality that is both familiar and unique, whether the song is a sweet ballad, a foot-stomping bluegrass tune, or one of their more rocking originals.

The band was formed in 2009 by singer/songwriter Carmela Pedicini and David Brain (dobro). Pedicini had already established a regional following as the front person for “Radio-Free Carmela and the Transmitters.” Sara Stovall (vocals, violin) combines classical training with her western Kentucky roots to achieve great versatility across musical genres from punk and psychedelic rock to Passerine’s version of Americana. Originally recruited as a violinist in 2011, Sara has stretched her wings as a vocalist and a songwriter in her own right. Carmela, David, and Sara quickly settled in as the core of the group. “Transmitter” Doug Conroy (bass, vocals) joined up in 2014.
