About Jazz byrds
Myrelle Byrd and John Weston started performing together in 2011 for a wedding. Since that first performance, they have played many different events, from house concerts to weddings, as well as corporate events, private functions & casual fine dining.
Their music & arrangements over the years has evolved and they have found great joy and satisfaction working together in the creative music process.
Part of the evolution of their sound has included adding different flutes to their performances. Myrelle uses five different flutes when she performs. A bass flute, alto flute, piccolo, a silver flute with a wood head joint and a black plastic composite flute. She is a melody player and these instruments allow her to express the emotion of the music and to give each song it's own unique voice.
John plays a Gibson ES339, arch top guitar paired with an Henrikesen JazzAmp 10 amplifier. This combination creates a wonderful tone, that suits him perfectly. He is an experienced Jazz & Classical guitarist with a playing style that is sophisticated & elegant. closely with each individual to help them achieve their goals.
In 2021 John & Myrelle released a full length album available on all the streaming services as well as a physical CD for those that like 'liner notes'. To purchase one, reach out in the form below.
When they aren't teaching, they work together writing their own compositions, recording their music & hammering out arrangements of great melodies.
