The Mockingbyrds, a Byrds tribute band in Houston, are reforming after a year off, and we’re looking for a new bass player. We focus primarily on the music from the original Byrds, up to “The Notorious Byrd Brothers,” but that doesn’t mean we won’t handle some of their later songs. We’re not trying to LOOK like the Byrds, but we do hope to bring some of the spirit of the era into the performance. We have been known to throw in music by the Buffalo Springfield and a few other bands of the mid-60s era, and are thinking of going further in that direction. Anyone interested? Anyone know someone who might be interested? Contact TwelveSixFour@gmail.com Thanks

Someone broke into Stephen's home and stole several guitars as well as a computer and some other household items. You can see pictures of the stolen guitars here.

We are sorry to report that Rick Ehrlich is leaving the Mockingbyrds. We wish him well in his future endeavors. We have already begun the search for new blood. Joe Baiardi of The Fab 5 has agreed to fill in for our next gig, the benefit performance for Bill Staats (see below), so that will be a big help. We have been (ahem) In Discussions with a potential new Mockingbyrd, so watch this space!
