About the song, Bassett said: This song was written about finding light and joy again after being in a dark place. Through song and video we celebrate life, (self) love, and all the beautiful parts of you that make you unique. Love wins! We live in trying times, and in spite of the suffering happening right here in our country, we can still bring light, love, and hope onto the planet through our art.
Starbird & the Phoenix is the musical mingling of Courtney Bassett (The Great Comet) and ukulele wizard/male rock soprano Andrew Swackhamer. Silver voiced dreamers, these two harmonize in the stratosphere, wail from the soul and shred on the ukulele. They are often joined by friends who pluck and strum, riff and blow their horns with glee as tales of heartache and heart soar become yummy ear candy.
