Earlier this year, The Bridges were featured in Paste Magazine's "4 To Watch" column, which noted, "The band's three-part harmonies are catchy every time ... The Bridges deliver their material with exuberance, and their story is as charming as the music."
That story is truly a family affair. Comprised of four siblings - Natalie Byrd (keys, acoustic guitar and vocals), Jeremy Byrd (drums), Stacey Byrd (guitar and vocals), Isaaca Byrd (bass and vocals) - and one cousin, Brittany Painter (lead vocals), the group ranges in age from seventeen to twenty-four. Though they live in small-town Alabama, and were home-schooled, garage sale LP discoveries by the likes of Fleetwood Mac and The Mamas and The Papas, opened a new world to The Bridges, and set them on a quest to write the perfect pop song. 'Limits of the Sky' shows how far these wunderkinds have already come.
Through constant touring The Bridges have built a devoted following in the southeast. In 2007, they opened for one of their favorite groups, The Bangles, and later this spring they'll tour with Rooney. Stay tuned for news of headlining dates as well.
