Patreon – Show Your Bird House Love!
Fans, Family, Friends: Please support us by joining our PATREON! Members receive a variety of incentives, including exclusive content and access to intimate performances! You can choose what you wish to pay each month, and you can join for as little as $1.00. It’s worth it and it is the best way to support all of the work we are doing and music we are creating. THE BIRD HOUSE CLUB awaits you!
November 19 was ‘Thank You Patrons’ Day on Patreon and we gave a BIG SHOUT OUT to the Bird House Club!! A special gift for our patrons was posted – a live MP3 recording of “Sometimes Honestly” from Hoxeyville featuring the one and only snuggly Huggy Bear – Mark Lavengood on the dobro!
“Sometimes honestly it drives me crazy but maybe you’re the reason that I’m still sane. So if I haven’t thanked you lately – I’d like to take this moment to thank you once again.”
We have been able to do ALL that we do because of this wonderful community of people who support us. Seriously we could not be more grateful!
Let Us Recap…Two Months In The Making
ALL IS NEW – Family, Friends, Our Super Supportive Community:
Yeah, we got so excited and busy with everything going on, we forgot to update our faithful website family about what we’re doing. So, hold on tight, because we’re doing some bullet points with some fun videos and images!
- The Grand Re-Opening Show at The Ark on September 27 was an amazing experience. We were surrounded by our supportive and amazing Ann Arbor community. We really couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated crowd of people as we premiered brand new music, ‘New Story’, that had literally been written the day before!
- As a treat, Erin worked to give us a little Halloween surprise for viewers with ‘Danse Macabre’ by Camille Saint Saens. This was definitely stuck in our heads…and every once in a while creeps in during the oddest times…
- Once again, Erin worked diligently to produce the costumes for the annual Halloween show and did not disappoint. This year’s performance yielded costumes from SPACEBALLS!! Check out the video taking you through the costumes of our previous years!
There are so many more updates that we are going to be sharing, so keep your eyes on the page. We appreciate all the support and love that you have brought to our performances as we re-launch with a new sound, new look, and a new attitude!
Enjoy some images from the Halloween Show!
Big Day!! Celebrating Grand Re-Opening, New Website, and More…
Big Day!!! Celebrating Erin Zindle & The Ragbirds' "Grand Re-Opening" show at The Ark (debuting new songs), The release of our new single "Curious", a new lyric video for single, and the launch of our new website!
The first single from the group’s modern configuration, “Curious” - (from the upcoming EP-in-progress, with a targeted 2020 release), will be released and celebrated at a special, intimate hometown show at The Ark in Ann Arbor, MI on Friday, September 27th.
“Curious” is a declaration of rebellion against the fear of change, loss, old age, and death. It reflects a choice to face one’s own uncertain future with a different perspective; one that chooses to view life as a choose-your-own-adventure where we are endlessly empowered to make choices and changes. Erin Zindle & The Ragbirds will be touring in support of the new single this fall and they will be recording new music at this time as well.
We've decided to release "Curious" FIRST on the sites that are the most independent-artist friendly. So TODAY if you want to support us most directly you can buy the song either on our brand new website or on BandCamp.
Our NEW Website:
https://theragbirds.com
BandCamp
https://theragbirds.bandcamp.com
For streaming and sharing with friends, you can find the song on Soundcloud and on YouTube

Erin
New Name, New Songs, New Vision
Dear Friends.
Big announcement: We are officially changing our name to “Erin Zindle & The Ragbirds”.
Life has taken a lot of wild turns lately and Erin is stepping up into a new role – taking the reins, claiming her name, and singing new songs with an incredible team of support behind her.
TJ, Loren, and Shannon – the three guys who make up The Ragbirds are the most amazing trio of humans you could ever want to share a stage with. Can’t sing their praises highly enough.
In an industry that has always been dominated by men it is surprisingly rare to find those who with their whole hearts are willing to stand behind a woman and let her shine in the fullness of her dream. This might not seem like a big change to some, but it is a monumental paradigm shift for Erin and the band.
The “Grand Opening” show (the first that will be officially billed with our new name) will be in our hometown at The Ark in Ann Arbor. We’ve decided to release our new single “Curious” in conjunction with this celebration show. The single will be the first to represent the new body of work we will be recording this Fall for a 2020 release.
Thank you so much for your support… We appreciate you immensely and we hope you will come and dance with us soon!
