Dave Lamb is a one-man band: the 32-year-old leader of Brown Bird plays guitar and percussion at the same time, and sings lead vocals. In his trio, he is ably accompanied by the lithe and elegant MorganEve Swain, 25, also multitasking on vocals, fiddle, cello, ukulele, guitar, and upright bass (but not playing them at the same time like Lamb), and Mike Samos, 31, on lap steel guitar and Dobro.
