Tough Old Bird

Tough Old Bird was formed by songwriting brothers Matthew and Nathan Corrigan in a rural corner of Western New York. Since releasing ‘Gambling Days’ in 2016, the duo has taken their singular style of modern folk music to coffee shops, listening rooms, music clubs, dive bars, campgrounds and front porches across the United States. The band’s newly expanded lineup features Ricky Bechard on drums and Brendan O’Shea on bass.

Tough Old Bird’s new album, ‘Garden Dream’ is the band’s fullest and most collaborative effort to date. Born out of years of songwriting, it was recorded over the course of several fruitful sessions helmed by Chris Ploss at Sunwood Studios in Trumansburg, NY. Garden Dream finds the band layering new sounds while mining childhood memories and grown-up heartbreak to explore the ways we move on and move forward as children, and as adults.
