Formed in 2024 for a special concert presentation of Joni Mitchell’s Blue album and other Joni songs, Robin and Larry have expanded their repertoire to include female singer-songwriters and acoustic takes on modern and classic pop, rock, soul, and country songs. Their history together goes back to 2001 when Robin was a student at State College Friends School and Larry was the principal who led the school’s choral singing group in which Robin performed. Bird and Bard share a deep musical connection and an engaging presence designed to lift the spirit.

Robin Tuttle has been singing in State College since 2012 when she fronted the Nightcrawlers until 2015 when she hung up her microphone to go to graduate school. Now a physician assistant (PA) in pulmonary medicine and mother of two beautiful boys, Robin enjoys a wide range of music and styles and is the chief architect of Bird and Bard's songlist. Her singing is powerful, emotive, endearing, and inspiring. 

Larry Boggess is a musician, singer, and songwriter with over six decades of experience in bands, acoustic projects, and educational presentations on music and American culture. He most recently worked with Miss Melanie’s acoustic neo-soul, Kick the Footlights classic country, Grandma Ben’s Dark Americana, and the songwriting collaborative TuneSmith.

“JTBlues” is the nom de musicien of John “JT” Thompson, an inimitable fixture in the central Pennsylvania music scene.

Influenced by great piano players like Dr. John, Ann Rabson, Professor Longhair, and Bill Payne, JT’s style is rooted in the Blues, but his repertoire encompasses much more than that.

He’s released two albums of music, “Chase Away Your Blues” and “This Way That Way,” has been a Jamarama host on the Legendary Blues Cruise, and a
finalist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tennesseee

Tolins sings and arranges both his own tunes and traditional fiddle tunes, blues, and other roots-oriented music. He plays guitars, National steel, mandolin, and dobro, and technique has earned him a reputation as a fine soloist. He arranges and produces both his music and that of other musicians as well.

Tolins also leads both the Triple A Blues Band and the Tolins' Bluegrass Revue. Triple A's debut CD,   Highwater, earned Billboard/Musician Magazine's Best Unsigned Band Competition.
