Bellbird invites listeners into a sound world where beauty and daring coexist. This Montreal-based quartet—featuring Claire Devlin on tenor saxophone, Allison Burik on alto sax and bass clarinet, Eli Davidovici on bass, and Mili Hong on drums—crafts music that feels both grounded and exploratory. Their debut album, Root in Tandem (2023), blends the fluidity of modern jazz with the textures of folk, the tension of atonal counterpoint, and the drive of rock. The result is an immersive experience: spacious and reflective one moment, then bursting with energy and improvisational spark the next. Bellbird’s music resonates with audiences who crave artistry that challenges convention while remaining deeply human and emotionally alive.
