We play a mix of covers and original material, which you can see below. We also perform at a variety of venues, from Spacebar in La Mesa to porch concerts and festivals.
Our band has evolved over time. We used to have a drummer; now it's just the three of us.... and all of our instruments, such as keys, guitar, violin, viola, melodica, and bass. We think it keeps things interesting!

We love Sentimental Journey! With a little bass, some brushy drums and three voices, we're in heaven. This was recorded at a house concert in January 2023.
As the sun set behind us at a private house concert in September 2021, we played one of our favorite cover songs. Train Song was written by Vashti and originally recorded in the 1960s. Then Feist + Ben Gibbard covered it, and it’s their version we’ve emulated, albeit as an all-girl band.
Birds on a Train played this original song, Nothin’, at our last house concert. Nothin’ was written during the height of the pandemic. We’re hard-working people, and we often sing this song at rehearsals to relieve stress and angst from the day.
