File - The Lovebirds

The Lovebirds are a folk/pop duo featuring award-winning San Diego songwriters Lindsay
White and Veronica May. Falling somewhere on the female duo scale between The Indigo Girls
and Tegan and Sara, The Lovebirds were recently selected as winners of the 2014 Kerrville Folk
Festival New Folk songwriting contest and as official showcase performers for 2015 Folk
Alliance International. Caution: a live performance by The Lovebirds is a tornado of sights and
sounds which may include short skirts, high heels, skinny ties, confidence glasses, percussive
guitar, rock ukulele, stand-up drumkits, and harmonies that won't quit. Join the flock, already.

It’s about the music. Except it’s also about more than the music.
2012: Nutsy Pants
2013: And a One, And a Two
2014: Breakup Shmakeup
The Lovebirds enjoy playing for/speaking to these causes that are
near and dear (and sometimes queer) to our hearts.

“
Music is such a healing, barrier-breaking, universal language.
Imagine what we could achieve if we gave it the proper respect and
used it to say something rather than sell something. -
