The Bird Sisters were a magical concoction of three singing/songwriting women (Susan Smith, Jude Vadala, and Tannis Slimmon) who took delight in delivering original music through their own unique approach to harmony. Once a purely a cappella outfit, they eventually rounded out their sound with acoustic guitars and bass.

Singing together for ten years, the Birds took their music across Canada, to the northeastern United States and as far south as Texas, playing such venues as the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Harbourfront in Toronto, and Saratoga Springs legendary Caffe Lena. Their biggest gig ever had to be singing the National anthem at the Skydome in Toronto for a Blues Jays vs. Yankees game!

The Bird Sisters released three albums: "Flo", 1990, produced by Jeff Bird (Tamarack, Cowboy Junkies), "Different Stories", 1992, coproduced by Ken Whiteley and the Bird Sisters, and "She and She and She", (1995), coproduced by John Switzer and the Bird Sisters. They also have cuts on "SXSW Live, Volume 1" and "Live at the Winnipeg Folk Festival".
