Brannigan and Goldberg are always spreading those vibes through their music.
in 1995 Like Birds started writing. They rocked their 6-piece lineup and an acoustic duo or trio at famous New York City clubs like CBGB and The Bitter End. Tim and Rich brought their groovy, intimate acoustic experience to Austin Texas to perform for excited audiences at the 1997 SXSW festival.
Tim Brannigan and Rich Goldberg both reside in Nashville, Tennessee now, where they write, produce and perform as Like Birds. The magic of song has never been stronger! With new songs and new recordings, it's clear that there's still so much left to be said!
Like Birds takes a look at things our world needs now as much as ever, at things we all care about, challenges we all face, feelings we all share and the hope and the power of love. Like Birds reminds us of the things that make us human.

Why "Bongo Metro? "It started one night while sound checking my drums, our sound engineer, Blackie Pagano, used to say, OK, let's hear those bongos. Before long, it became, Bongo Man, let me hear those tubs. The nicknames, Bongo, or Bongo Man stuck. Half of my friends and even my brother still call me Bongo."
Produced, Engineered & Mixed by Tim Brannigan
