Led by dynamic, multi-instrumentalist songwriter Erin Zindle, The Ragbirds create music that is equally danceable, intelligent and vulnerable. They incorporate conscious lyrics, global-infused beats, indie-pop melodies, rock guitar riffs and folk sensibilities into an energized live show, leaving listeners in a higher place than when it began.
Since 2005, The Ragbirds have gathered and maintained a passionate, grassroots fan base by continually reinventing themselves with an ever-evolving sound, while remaining rooted in the high-energy, world-inspired folk-rock they've become known for. With a change of cast in 2019, the band shifted its weight to focus more on the melodic components. The rhythms of their new sound leave room for songs to breathe and for vocals to take the spotlight as they explore the sound-space with various improvisational elements and an intense instrumental curiosity.
BAND MEMBERS: Erin Zindle, TJ Zindle, Shannon Wade, Loren Kranz
I saw Erin in Kalamazoo a few weeks ago and she was great along with her brother who is a great guitar player and the whole band too. I didn’t know who they were because I went for Patty PerShayla but got there early and The Ragbirds won my heart that day. Hope to see them again. Joe in Kentwood MI
