The ByrdBrains... are an amazing assemblage of talented individuals that formed in Portland, Oregon, USA, back in the early part of 2005. The credit for the genesis of this concept actually came from the mind of master guitarist/songwriter, Andrew Gold.  Andrew had decided to form a tribute to The Byrds before The ByrdBrains; a project known as Byrds of A Feather. 

Hearing that final decisions for Byrds of A Feather had been already made, and knowing that it was too late for him to be part BOAF, our own Iain McLennon made a few phone calls of his own to some old, and new friends, all of whom responded in a most positive way to the concept of putting together a tribute with the focus, in the beginning, being the music of The Byrds.

Expanding upon the range of material to be covered, The ByrdBrains perform not only the songs of the original band, but many of those recorded by the various incarnations of The Byrds, David Crosby, Gene Clark, Chris Hillman, Michael Clarke, and Roger McGuinn as solo artists, and soon beyond! Stay tuned for our definition of what we mean by "beyond." That will be coming up; well soon.

As with The Byrds, the focal sound of The ByrdBrains is the signature sound of the Rickenbacker 12-string guitar. First played by George Harrison in The Beatles' first movie A Hard Day's Night, it provided the essential inspiration to Jim McGuinn, and David Crosby, to form The Byrds.

In The ByrdBrains, Iain McLennon plays a 1985 Rickenbacker 370RM Roger McGuinn Signature 12-string. This guitar is beautiful, and authentic in every detail to the one that Roger played, and is #98 of only 1000 produced.

Don't miss The ByrdBrains if you have a chance to catch them...it's like listening to a recording of The Byrds...only live.
