ABOUT BIRD & BARD
Bird and Bard is the singing duo of Robin Tuttle and Laurence B. Boggess. 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. A kid from Jersey, he has lived all over the east coast, New England, the Midwest, Nashville, State College, and now Philadelphia.
