About

Description:

The Wind-Up Birds have come together expressly for the RPM Challenge; they hope to make you proud.

This project is Honah, Nick and Jack's first ever attempt at playing songs in a forum that takes them outside of their living room.  

Honah and Jack are roommates; Nick and Wendy are some mighty talented, helpful and friendly folks they met on Craigslist.  

Group Members:

Honah Leigh, Nick Szydlowski, Jack Tar, Wendy Mittelstadt

(Janelle Randazza & Liam King)
