The 24-year-old has been writing and performing music as Drumming Bird for over 8 years, meticulously crafting a sound that lies somewhere between the youthful noise of indie rock and poignant working-class introspection of Americana. A resident in Nashville, Drumming Bird’s newest chapter is defined by the city’s once-renowned culture of honest songwriting and steel guitars, and the clamor of DIY home studios that litter the city today.
The growth of Drumming Bird’s burgeoning fanbase has been catalyzed by national TV placements, including Showtime’s hit show, Shameless, high-octane live performances at some of the Southeast's flagship clubs (Proud Larry’s, 40 Watt Club, Mercy Lounge), and a June 2022 solo tour, supporting Daniel Nunnelee on 23 shows nationwide.
“American Spirits” was released on May 19th, and has reached a wide new audience with its timely and pointed lyricism. It has quickly established Sawyer as a songwriter’s songwriter, earning praise from the likes of Katie Pruitt, Manchester Orchestra, and Lori Mckenna. It also scored him a second place finish in Unsigned Only’s 2022 Songwriting Contest. The following single “Electric Cowboy'' premiered in late July and landed on Spotify’s editorial playlists: Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds: Rock, and Grade A.
Drumming Bird’s newest song, “All God’s Children” was released September 8th, 2022 via AWAL. [ less ]
