"Sweetbird's songs fill your heart with love and hope for humanity. How many artists can
make you feel like that?" - Bruce Lomet (Chinaski)
SWEETBIRD DOESN'T KNOW THE ANSWER to Bruce's question, but they are humbled by
his comment about their music. To evoke such a response from a new listener is a blessing.
When Connecticut-based singer/songwriter Christine Yandell and guitarist/composer Steve Waite met back in 2001, they had little idea they would be on the path they are on today. Afterseveral impromptu sessions, it was obvious there was a strong and unexplainableconnection between the two musicians - a connection that is often referred to as "It." WhenChristine and Steve played music together, "It" was there.
In 2003, Christine and Steve released their first record, Free Spirit Reflection (Broadband Records), which was produced by Grammy-
nominated composer Paul Avgerinos. Free Spirit Reflection attracted the attention of musicfans and industry professionals alike. After Christine and Steve finished recording the song "I Am Love," Avgerinos remarked they had "a smash hit record" on their hands.
