This Juno Award-nominated bluegrass quintet has established itself as one of the top-flight bands in bluegrass music. With a unique traditional style, mandolin master John Reischman and his band beautifully mesh soaring vocals and the honest tones of the mandolin, stand-up bass, banjo, fiddle and guitar to present a vast repertoire of old-time infused bluegrass, innovative instrumentals and contemporary ballads, where original numbers round out unique takes on timeless, rarely heard classics with their own refreshingly modern twist!

“Lead man John Reischman could be one of the best mandolin players alive today, and the folks he's playing with are neck and neck with him all the way. Lightning speed and laser precision.” - Victory Review

“Aces in writing, instrumental and vocal departments...a true collaborative effort from this West Coast amalgamation of Canadian and American bluegrass musicians, and worthy of repeated listenings and then some.” - The Edmonton Journal

“A thoroughly professional ensemble with a rare ability to produce music that is simultaneously traditional and contemporary. It's nearly impossible not to remark that Trisha Gagnon continues to be one of the most versatile (and unheralded) vocalists in bluegrass...the Jaybirds are a band that continues to hit on all cylinders.” - SingOut!
