The Stray Birds take off from America and land in Oxford

From street busking to sell-out shows, The Stray Birds soar across the UK on their latest tour.

The band - Maya de Vitry, Oliver Craven and Charlie Muench - will stop off mid-tour at The Bullingdon November 16, debuting latest album Magic Fire as well as the songs that took them to the stage.

Recorded in upstate New York with grammy-winning producer Larry Campbell, Magic Fire marks the first time the band worked with an outside producer and drummer.

Of the collaboration, Nashville Scene noted: “while its rockin’ grooves depart from the group’s earlier efforts, it’s built on rootsy, acoustic foundations that keep asserting themselves.”

The 12-song set opens with Shining In The Distance, a collaboration with fellow songwriter Lindsay Lou, also featured as a NPR’s Songs We Love; Third Day In A Row, a laid-back slice of infectious Americana that showcases the band’s rich harmonies; and Hands Of Man, a dark, Appalachian-influenced tune completed during the recording sessions in Milan Hill.

Where You Come From then marks Charlie Muench’s first complete songwriting contribution to an album, while crowd favorite Sabrina features a celebration of food trucks and Yuengling.
