Meet the Artist
Birds of a Feather
Birds of a Feather is a new American indie family supergroup consisting of two kids' music luminaries: Filipina-American Little Miss Ann of Chicago and Brooklyn’s longtime children’s music pioneer Suzi Shelton. Individually, Ann and Suzi have maintained a strong presence within the national kids music community, performing with their own bands across the country and producing many award-winning albums. For over a decade, these longtime friends have also been inspired to perform together regularly at esteemed venues, including the Kids stage at Lollapalooza (Chicago), Overture Center (Madison, Wis.), Jewish Museum (NYC), The Cabot (Beverly, Mass.) and Wolftrap (DC). Their debut album "Rock Together" produced by Grammy award-winning Dean Jones was released last year and has received high acclaim! Follow Birds of a Feather on insta @birdsofafeather4eva.
