Matthew Halley

Field ornithologist and musician Matthew Halley presents Bird Songs, an enchanting collection of original music celebrating our connection to the birds with deep roots in the American folk and bluegrass tradition!  The artistic culmination of thousands of hours spent studying avian behavior in 7 countries (USA, Panama, Venezuela, Israel, Canada, Indonesia, Egypt), Bird Songs will plaster a smile on your face.  An accomplished multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Halley teaches music in Philadelphia and performs on banjo, guitar, fiddle, piano and voice.

Bird Songs is printed with the birds in mind - the packing contains no plastic (besides the CD itself), is composed of recycled content, and is printed with soy-based inks.

For every copy of Bird Songs I sell, I will donate $1.00 directly to conservation programs dedicated to preserving and protecting threatened bird habitats. Find out more on the conservation page.
