Birdsongs of the Mesozoic

Birdsongs of the Mesozoic is a four-piece electrified modern music ensemble formed in 1980 as a side project by half of Boston’s now legendary Mission of Burma: Roger Miller and Martin Swope. Miller and Swope joined forces with Rick Scott and Erik Lindgren for what was originally conceived as a recording project only. With the demise of Mission of Burma, Birdsongs of the Mesozoic became a full-time band. Since 1994, Birdsongs has been invited to serve as Artist-in-Residence at Dartmouth College, Massachusetts College of Art, and Emory University. It has played a wide range of venues including the Knitting Factory (NYC), the Honolulu Academy of Arts (HI), the Monadnock Music Festival (NH), and Real Art Ways (Hartford, CT).
