Rural Avian MusiciansSerialize Their Sudden Symphonies
The "Sidewalk Birds," a unique and engaging musical group, are currently touring France, combining music with environmental awareness. This songster orchestra with a traveling vocation, as they describe themselves, is known for their eco-friendly tours and performances.
The group, which varies in size depending on the seasons or itineraries, travels sustainably, often using bicycles or minimal-impact travel methods to reach their audiences. This approach has made them a popular choice for villages, market squares, town halls, farms, and even local castles across the country.
Recent performances include a lively concert at the Saint-Chely country market last Thursday evening. The square was filled to listen to the Sidewalk Birds play, squeezed into a barrel for a cosy, intimate setting. In some hamlets, the Sidewalk Birds' concert has more musicians than spectators, reflecting the community's enthusiasm for their music.
The Sidewalk Birds' repertoire includes original compositions, engaging songs, and revisited covers. After each performance, the hat is passed around for donations. Beyond monetary contributions, the group accepts food, unsold items, and local produce such as cheeses, fruits, and vegetables.
The Sidewalk Birds' members are migratory, moving from one location to another. They are often accompanied by a vehicle to transport their equipment. After packing up their instruments, they pedal off to the next destination, continuing their eco-friendly journey.
