Tailor Birds

DREAM FOLK GORGEOUSNESS 
Live looping, foley art, plant music biosonification, and all things magical 

Electric violin at its’ core, this is your moment to pause and breathe.  Music for the soul, food for the spirit, Sophie has spent the past years writing, recording, and performing, throughout Australia and Europe.  The music is as tangible as the story behind it. 

Telling tales of love, loss, hopes, dreams, that anything is possible.  Whilst steadily carving out her craft through festivals, forest events, markets, street shows and more, Sophie has always had the wish to stay present, to continue creating and develop both her craft but also develop her sound, as you never know what could be possible.  Not one show is the same - from plant music events, dog shows where you guess who owns what dog, 4am shows in the forest, pop up events in plant shops, and then of course street shows, local markets, small local pubs, festivals and more.

The lyrics describe deep intense moments that we perhaps have all experienced, the music is the perfect vehicle to take the listener on a journey of sound, softening all moments to lead the listener into clarity, of which they can breath, perhaps even have a moment of space.  This music is original with a dash of Scarborough fair and nursery rhyme magic thrown into the mix.  Sophie, a travelling troubadour tells the stories of people she meets along her way.  Based in Australia for the past few years, performing yoga sound immersive events, rainforest shows, local festivals and markets, she also has had a solid background of touring Europe since 2012, and restarted Europe shows in 2023, which included a spot at Glastonbury.

Festival appearances through the years, have included Australia's FRL, and St Albans folk festival, Holland's Taribush Kuna, Landjuweel, Arts Carnivale, Magneet, and Castlefest, Ireland's Boyle Arts fest, Vantastival, and Rewild, and Chilled in the Field (UK).  Most notably, Tailor Birds did a solo performance with 3 appearances at Glastonbury in 2023. 

The new 3 part album, releases in 2027, as a physical record, but also a digital version sold on a tea towel.  Singles will release online from April til Dec 2026, with some cd listening parties set for Jan - March 2027, and the wondrous 24 hour online pilgrimage in April 2027.  The album however is available now as a pre-release copy.
You can follow Tailor Birds on our journey via our socials - currently Instagram and Facebook, plus we have a mailout that goes out 3 times a month, if we have a moment to write with clarity.
Feel free to get in touch, I'd love to hear from you.
