Short Bio

 

​

The Metal Byrds is the brainchild of both Suzanne Birdie and Sly Rye Whisky. Both members were performing in other bands at the same time. On one lucky night thanks to a mutual friend, Suzanne sat in on guitarist Sly Rye's rehearsal with his band. He asked Suzanne to sing any song and she began singing Sweet Child O' Mine. They became fast friends that very night.

It wasn't long after that she actually joined his band and began performing with them.   However, as things go, the band was having line up issues and both Sly Rye and Suzanne decided they should create their own project together.  That is when The Metal Byrds were formed.

 

Working on songs in the months after paved the way for The Song Byrd EP, and later their second acclaimed EP, Byrds On A Wyre, which earned them a consideration for Best New Artist for the upcoming 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.  Every song is a testament to where they are at with their sound right now. 

​

Currently, the band just released their third EP, Life In 20, which has even further refined their sound and writing ability.  Current Indie Radio chart topping songs like Tell Me and Dreamin, have propelled the band further into the Indie world of music, to which they are nominated for Best Indie Band and Best Indie Guitarist, for the 2021 Indie Awards.
