Brown Feather Sparrow was formed in 1999, around singer-songwriter Lydia van Maurik-Wever. Influenced by (a.o.) Ida, Over the Rhine, Rosie Thomas and The Sundays, her music is described as poetic pop. In 2001, a demo is recorded, and get’s good reviews and good airplay. In 2003 Brown feather sparrow is signed by Volkoren and the debute ‘Wide awakens everything’ is recorded at dufry music productions (Rene de Vries, a.o. Solo, A Balladeer). October 2005 the next album ‘Let’s be fine’ is released. This is also recorded with Rene de Vries and mixed at the Mailmen studio (Martijn Groeneveld,(a.o. Solo, Blaudzun, Mist).'Brave’ is a series of portraits of people who, all in their own way, are at the brink of making a very brave decision. Every song captures the listener inside a snapshot; before you know it, you are no longer an indifferent bystander, but a spectator, encouraging, carrying, cheering and reassuring. Although the songs are real pop songs, the arrangements of choir, strings and trumpets give the music an almost filmic appearance. The sound on ‘Brave’ is bigger and more intense than that of the former albums, and tells the stories in a way that makes you believe that they really matter. And why not? All courage is worthy of praise and that makes Brave a beautiful album.
