Bird Streets

BIRD STREETS is the musical alias of songwriter John Brodeur. The name springs from a tony enclave in the Hollywood Hills, which Brodeur first discovered when the recording sessions for the first Bird Streets album were first getting underway — but also references his one-time hometown of Albany, N.Y., which provided the characters and inspiration for some of the album's songs. (Downtown Albany features Lark Street, Dove Street, Swan Street and Eagle Street.)
