Drumming Bird is the main vehicle of singer-songwriter Austin Sawyer. Sawyer has been writing and performing music as Drumming Bird for over a decade, meticulously crafting a sound that lies somewhere between the youthful noise of indie-rock and the poignant working-class introspection of Americana.    The growth of Drumming Bird’s burgeoning fanbase has been catalyzed by national TV placements, including on Showtime’s hit show, Shameless, captivating live performances at many of the nation’s flagship clubs and a growing reputation as one of the most authentic voices writing music today.   The title track of Drumming Bird’s 2022 release, American Spirits, scored him second place finishes in Unsigned Only’s 2022 Songwriting Contest and American Songwriter’s 2022 Song Contest. The following single “Electric Cowboy” landed on Spotify’s editorial playlists: Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds: Rock and Grade A.   Drumming Bird’s forthcoming record, Roadkill Poetry, was produced by Oscar-nominated songwriter Mike Viola (Panic! At The Disco, Andrew Bird, Jenny Lewis), with Griffin Goldsmith (Dawes), Sebastian Steinberg (Fiona Apple, Iron & Wine, Soul Coughing) and Viola as the backing band.
