John Reischman and the Jaybirds fashion a stylish take on bluegrass that blends original songs and instrumentals with Appalachian old-time music for a truly unique band sound. Now in their 25th year, with eight acclaimed albums and two Juno nominations, the Jaybirds are innovative and unadorned, sophisticated and stripped-down, happily old-fashioned and 21st-century.
