“Aeon for Ocean” interviews Birdsong!

Dear Friends,
It was so much fun to be interviewed by my friend Aeon Bashir, founder of “Aeon for Ocean”. Aeon had some great questions for me, including “What inspired you to start Birdsong and Eco-Wonders?”, “What is the process of creating your fun songs — from songwriting to performing?”, “What’s your favorite song?”, and “Do you have a special message for the community?” It was wonderful to spend time with Aeon, to talk about my songwriting and mission, and to share our love for the ocean.

New song release! “LONELY ABALONE”

I’m excited to announce the release of my new song, “Lonely Abalone”. You can find it on
CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon, and more. “Lonely Abalone” is bluesy tribute to a marine creature once so popular in California coastal cuisine, it was eaten to near extinction. When a plant or animal species, like the abalone, is over harvested faster than it can reproduce, threatening its population, that’s called “overexploitation” — a word I use in my song.
