Yer Bird (Records) is an independent music label founded in 2004 in Virginia by Morgan King. King brought together a collection of folk musicians, singer-songwriters and “avant-folk” bands and artists to create his label and promote the music he loved.

Staple of the label is Hezekiah Jones who currently have four releases on Yer Bird: Hezekiah Says You’re A-OK, Come To Our Pool Party, the EP Bread of Teeth, and the 2011 release Have You Seen Our New Fort? Additional artists include The Gunshy, Chauchat, Blackbird Harmony, Nic Garcia, Sounds Like Fall, Luke Elliot and Pickering Pick. Perhaps the most well known artist to have released with Yer Bird is J. Tillman, who put out his album “Cancer and Delirium” on the label in 2007.

Yer Bird Records had a stellar line up for the Compilation “Folk Music For The End of the World” which consisted of 17 tracks from label artists and various other favourites of the emerging folk scene.

In 2009, the label moved from Virginia to Philadelphia, PA and hoped to start anew. Since early 2010 the label has been split between Calgary, Alberta and Philadelphia as the label starts up again under “new management” with Sandy and Judy Smith out of Calgary. Sandy currently also runs the music blog Slowcoustic.
