Paper Bird

One of Colorado’s own will be closing out the semester up in Boulder by playing the Mackey Auditorium. I had the pleasure of catching Paper Bird at Monolith but a more intimate affair is in order. I can’t put my finger on why I find them to be so infectious. It could possibly be the three part harmonies or perhaps the banjo or maybe the horn element.

Paper Bird to play Old Main on University of Colorado campus in Boulder

BOULDER, CO – December 13th, 2008 – Program Council presents Paper Bird in Old Main for the final show of the semester.

December 13, 2008
Old Main
Starts: 8 PM
Tickets: $8

Indie-folk collective Paper Bird, a staple in the Denver/Boulder music scene, take the stage for Program Council’s final show of the semester. A 3-part female harmony backed by banjo, acoustic guitar, and trombone, Paper Bird have mastered their unique brand of acoustic folk that has captivated audiences throughout the Denver-area and beyond. Their debut album, Anything Nameless and Joymaking, has been universally praised as a delightful combination of folk and jazz that you can’t help but smile and sing-along to. From scoring opening slots for successful bands like Devotchka and the Flobots, to headlining local venues like the Boulder Theater, Paper Bird has taken the local music scene by storm. Known for an outstanding live show, that puts many performers to shame, Paper Bird put on the perfect concert to begin the holiday season.

The show will be held on December 13th, 2008 in Old Main, located on the south side of Macky Auditorium, facing the Norlin Quad. Check out our website, www.programcouncil.com for more information about this show and see other upcoming events on campus.
