BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Laura Burhenn was born in Omaha, NB in 1981. As a child she studied classical piano before relocating to Washington D.C. She played and sang in several local bands before releasing her 2004 solo debut Wanderlust, an auspicious record that grabbed the attention of former Q and Not U drummer John Davis. The two formed the indie band Georgie James and released the album Places in 2007. The duo disbanded the following year, and Burhenn released her first album under the The Mynabirds moniker in 2010, the critically acclaimed What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood. Both the debut and its 2012 follow-up Generals received praise for Burhenn’s indie soul sensibilities, and struck a chord with reviewers at Pitchfork and NPR’s All Songs Considered. Burhenn and the rest of The Mynabirds continue to win fans over with their must-see live performances sonically-adventurous recordingslike 2015’s Lovers Know.
The Mynabirds are an amazingly talented band. Their performance was very entertaining. I had never been to Rough Trade before this show but I would definitely go back. It was a good venue. Laura's voice is so beautiful.
Not bad. The opening acts were entertaining but forgettable. Did not stay for main event since I had to leave early.
Mynabirds were awesome- really great stage presence, energy and crowd interaction. Lots of talent. Bones was... not.
The Mynabirds BLEW me away!!! I have been obsessed with their album for a year and hearing every song live, was fantastic. Laura Burhenn sounded great live and even got to speak with her in the Mercury Lounge bar afterwards!!! She told me they are working on a new album... YAY!
