Ask The Ragbirds how to describe their hard-to-define Folk Rock and World Fusion and they’ll tell you it’s “infectious global groove.” Mixing Gypsy, Middle-Eastern, Americana, Rock and Latin influences, all stirred with a Celtic fiddler’s bow, The Ragbirds’ eclectic sound dazzles the young and old. Founded in 2005 by fiery front-woman Erin Zindle, the Ann Arbor, MI, five-piece group puts on a show that is designed to engage the audience on many levels – to get people thinking, listening and dancing. As the band’s founder and songwriter, Zindle is like a bright excited tour guide through a beautiful foreign world of sights and sounds. Her earthy-sweet voice is the center of the storm of energy around her – the whirlwind of guitarist T.J. Zindle and dynamic bassist Dan Hildebrandt spinning over the ethnic grooves of drummer Randall Moore and percussionist Tim Dziekan.
