Consisting of winsome-voiced singer Inara George (daughter of Little Feat's Lowell George) and producer/multi-instrumentalist Greg Kurstin, indie pop duo the Bird and the Bee emerged in 2006 on Blue Note Records. Their sophisticated cocktail of pop, jazz, and loungey electronica has made them a critical success over the course of several strong original releases and one very crafty Hall & Oates tribute album. ~ Timothy Monger
