“Even after 35 years of successful label work, I find it exciting to discover new and interesting projects. The American Songbirds project is one of the most interesting in recent years!”
Ulrich Balß – JARO – Label manager

We are currently organizing a special festival with four young, talented singer-songwriters from America: Ashia & The Bison Rouge, Stephanie Nilles, Rachelle Garniez and Kyrie Kristmanson.
With “American Songbirds Festival” we want to bring into Europe the tradition of North American Singer-songwriter music and to present you in one evening, four 45-minute sets of our Songbirds distinctiv music styles.

Our AmericanSongbirds:

Kyrie Kristmanson (Vocal, guitar, trumpet)- she had often been called a 21st century troubadour.

Stephanie Nilles (Vocal, piano) – “jazz lady with a diploma in classical piano”. Unpretentious and bold, she  takes on the ills of the modern world.

Rachelle Garniez (Vocal, claviola, accordion, piano, guitar) – The New York Times described her songs as “romantic, rhapsodic and casually hilarious”.

Ashia & The Bison Rouge (Vocal, cello) – “combines folk, classical, klezmer, and all kinds of other music for a remarkable sound that defies easy categorization”.
