Led by mandolinist and composer John Reischman, the Jaybirds deliver a stellar blend of original songs & instrumentals, reimagined traditional tunes, and bluegrass power.  In 2017 this twice Juno-nominated band from the West Coast released their seventh recording, On That Other Green Shore, which Bluegrass Unlimited calls, “another classic album from John Reischman and the Jaybirds” showcasing what Folk Radio UK calls “musicianship of the very highest order.”  A Grammy winner known for his original instrumentals, Bluegrass Unlimited called John "one of the world's undisputed masters" of the mandolin. Patrick Sauber, a soaring harmony singer and firecracker guitarist, is one of the West Coast's most sought-after players. Trisha Gagnon is portrayed by Sing Out! as "one of the most versatile" and "irresistible" lead vocalists in bluegrass. Nick Hornbuckle has developed his own voice on the five-string banjo - his playing “can be downright spine-tingling," says the L.A. Daily News. Greg Spatz is hailed as a "world-class bluegrass fiddler" by Fiddler Magazine.
