Bionic Buzz® got to interview Inara George, singer of the band The Bird and the Bee. The band consist of Inara and musician & producer wizard Greg Kurstin. We talked about where her passion for music came from and the groups latest release, a Christmas album called Put Up The Lights. Since forming in 2005, The Bird And The Bee have brought a breezy elegance to their music, putting their own idiosyncratic twist on time-bending indie-pop starting with their beloved Again and Again and Again and Again EP followed by 3 original studio albums.
The duo have also mastered the art of the cover song. This mastery can be heard throughout their amazing takes on timeless tracks on 2010’s Interpreting the Masters Volume 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates and 2019’s bombastic Interpreting the Masters Volume 2: A Tribute to Van Halen, both of which garnered critical acclaim. With Put Up The Lights, The Bird And The Bee aim to spread holiday cheer by putting their own spin on classics like “Deck The Halls” and “Sleigh Ride” alongside originals like “Merry Merry” and “You and I At Christmas Time”.
We also talked about how they started working with Dave Grohl who plays drums on the Christmas classic “Little Drummer Boy” on Put Up The Lights. Also her thoughts on the passing of Eddie Van Halen. Look for new original music next year from the group.
