Littlebird

Emerging from the heart of Chicago’s independent music scene, Littlebirds blends shimmering guitars, rich vocal harmonies, and restless rhythms into something tender, sharp, and unmistakably their own. With one foot in the echo of Midwest emo and the other in late-night indie rock confessionals, the band builds soundscapes that feel like open windows in a city apartment—hopeful, haunted, and full of life.

Formed by friends who met in DIY venues and back porches across the city, Littlebirds found common ground in the emotional gravity of bands like Big Thief and American Football, the melodic instincts of Wilco, and the raw energy pulsing through Chicago’s neighborhoods. Their songs often orbit themes of longing, change, and resilience—told through lyrics that feel like journal entries left out in the rain.

Their live shows are intimate, electric affairs—whether in packed clubs, smoky basements, or under string lights in backyards—where crowd and band blur into one shared experience. Littlebirds isn’t just a band; it’s a conversation, a catharsis, a community in motion.

With a more Spotify/Apple music releases on the way and a growing base of listeners drawn to their aching honesty and atmospheric warmth, Littlebirds is a band to watch, and—more importantly—a band to feel.
