Welcome, Emily "Birdie" Busch, as a new social content contributor. In 2020, Birdie will be sharing more of us with you in her own unique voice.

Birdie pitched a special project for our social media:  Interviewing artistic and industrious women she knows, sharing their careers and experience through visual and verbal portraiture. Wearing the clothing we're making at the moment. Painters, mothers, musicians, brewers, bakers, and more. What muses! Be sure to follow on Facebook or Instagram to see it all.

Raised in Collingswood, Birdie has been making and recording independent music from her home base of Philadelphia for a solid decade. She has created a constellation of connect the dots that has people listening to her music all over the world. Critics from American Songwriter to Village Voice have found her of kindred spirit from everyone from Syd Barrett to Eudora Welty. Last year, our holiday concert was blessed with some of the first listens to original songs commissioned by the Art Museum of Philadelphia. It's true, The Bird is in the family, sister to the designer :)
