Lazybirds is a classic American roots band from the mountains of North Carolina. Specializing in good time music that is just about impossible not to move to, there is also a depth to the band that faithful fans have treasured over the years. According to the legendary Doc Watson, “Lazybirds play a good variety of blues, jazz, and that good old ragtime sound, and you will hear the flavor of that in anything they play.”

Some have said Ryan Furstenberg’s voice brings to mind a cool mountain stream, or tobacco leaves swept by the Eastern North Carolina breeze. With that rich and southern accented baritone, the accomplished guitarist, banjo player and convention-bucking songwriter can’t help showing his NC roots. Both as a solo act, and as half of The Moon and You – an indie folk duo based in Asheville, NC – Furstenberg is making a name for himself by never sounding quite like anyone else.
