About Us
About The Odd Birds
Weaned on the 70s Laurel Canyon sound, Ron Grigsby and Jennifer Moraca write and play music about connections, both lost and found, with an authentic and intimate sound. They have toured throughout the US and Europe and have released two critically acclaimed albums, "Better Days" and "Tremolo Heart". Their strength lies in their vocal harmonies; Ron's rougher twang merges with Jennifer's sweeter delivery and they bring out the best in each other.
From a very young age, music has been a source of connections with other people for both of them. They hold that folk music is music for the people that transcends genre and that real love, compassion, and empathy are radical acts that will get us all through challenging times.
