Soundpost Sessions LOCAL SPOTLIGHT: Salome Songbird w/ Patrick Dethlefs

Salome Songbird

At a glance another string band, Salomé Songbird has been honing their distinct take on acoustic music – self described as scathing lullabies – for live audiences around Colorado. Band Members Ariele Macadangdang, Joy Adams, and Bryan Dubrow originally met in the mid 2010’s and reunited in 2022 with ambitions to push themselves – and audiences – musically and emotionally.

As an “eclectic, free spirited acoustic trio” Salomé Songbird’s sound “comes from each individual’s musical background blending together in sync.” Their professional histories span old time and bluegrass, to jazz, pop, and death metal; members have performed with artists including Darol Anger, Nathaniel Rateliff, The Flobots, Kygo, Ben Folds, and Dave Liebman. As a trio they channel this variety of influences into original music inspired by mental health, religious trauma, and cartoons.

Salomé Songbird released their debut single “Jellyfish” in January of 2025.

Patrick Dethlefs

Pronounced “DET-Lefs," Patrick Dethlefs’ songwriting crests like a humble Townes Van Zandt, innocent of his own haunting melodies and lyricism. Dethlefs’ music offers folk Americana with effortless sincerity at a time when many acts strive purposefully to revive the stripped-down feel of a musical history long past. “Dethlefs finds poetry in the memories and that slight pain in the laugh lines.” - Daytrotter
