Pretty Birds is a Cincinnati-based indie dream-folk band writing acoustically driven, melody-led, genre-bending songs around their kitchen table. Lauren Bray, Mike Landis, and Mike Tittel of New Sincerity Works began singing together during the winter of 2018. Those kitchen-table sessions became the foundation for a growing catalog of songs, a deeper appreciation for bourbon and coffee, and harmonies that seemed to find one another naturally. Part chiming guitars, part vocal blend, and part indie eclecticism, Pretty Birds crafts songs that embrace dynamics, space, and restraint. This space and openess give the music a charm. After a post-pandemic hiatus, the band returns in 2026 with an expanded lineup. Greg Tudor (Roger Klug Power Trio) joins on pedal steel, while Chris Glen (Cereal Killers, Plow On Boy) adds lean, inventive drums and percussion, bringing new depth and texture to the band's warm and distinctive sound.
