Bird Streets, the project led by New York native John Brodeur, continues to captivate listeners with a unique blend of melodic power-pop and heartfelt lyricism. Following his critically acclaimed 2018 debut, Brodeur’s latest album, Lagoon, pushes boundaries with production from Pat Sansone of Wilco and Michael Lockwood, known for his work with Fiona Apple. The album features collaborations with Aimee Mann, Ed Harcourt, and Jody Stephens of Big Star, resulting in tracks described as both lush and intimate. Acclaimed for his magnetic live shows, Brodeur has shared the stage with Juliana Hatfield and Fountains of Wayne, leaving a lasting mark on the indie music scene.
