John Reischman & The Jaybirds have a new CD, which given the high praise the group has earned from both peers and critics, seems aptly named. Stellar Jays was released in mid-May, and audio samples are available at CD Baby.

This is their fourth release as a band, with members actively involved in various musical projects along the US west coast and Canadian Pacific Northwest. Jim Nunally is on guitar, Trisha Gagnon on bass, Nick Honbuckle on banjo, Greg Spatz on fiddle and Reischman on mandolin.
