Heart-crafted homespun country fun is the name of the game when you’re listening to these two lovable singer/songwriters. Their chemistry is evident immediately, and their performances delight listeners of all ages. The term “Americana” is often used as a description of folk art. This thought penetrates and pervades The Americana Lovebirds’ approach and thrusts its way into their music.

The Lovebirds possess an extensive repertoire of original and cover songs, including Americana, Classic Country, Folk and Traditional. Set lists are crafted specifically for each performance factoring in both the venue and the audience. If you want music taken back to its roots, chock full of basic, inherent goodness and fun, The Lovebirds are the group for you! The term “Americana” is fairly loose, encompassing many aspects of art and culture. The Lovebirds are an amalgam of Americana, and share their experience of it all through the eyes of love and humor. Their chemistry is evident immediately, and their performances are a cool refreshing breeze. Whether performing their fun and quirky original compositions or seamlessly blending a wide range of classic tunes, this partnership of Jason W. McKinzie and Amy Celeste Young-Beard is a journey: through life; through history; through optimism; through levity. The Americana Lovebirds are available for all functions, and will be sure to bring a smile to your guests faces!
With a nod and a wink, this adorable duo sings and smiles its way into hearts the world over. In the tradition of classic comedy couples such as “Lucy and Desi” and “George and Gracie”, mixed liberally with such musical acts as “The Monkees” and “The Smothers Brothers”, The Lovebirds let their real-life romance shine through. It has been said that you can hear the sparkle in their eyes as they sing together.
The Americana Lovebirds’ sound is timeless. Jason and Amy spit in their creative busy little hands and get down ‘n’ dirty as they work hard to build their unique sound from the ground up. With abundant laughter and love, they don’t stop until everything comes together. Come with this cuddly pair on their rip-roaring adventures. Grab your partner, kick up your boots, hold on to your hat and venture on into Lovebird Country: a fertile land of hay-rollin’, meadow-shaggin’, and all-night backseat-playin’!
Jason W. McKinzie’s hairy head is a haven for hook-making and tune-creating. Weaned on “Dr. Demento” and “The Three Stooges”, he began crafting silly (and serious) songs at an early age. Tellingly, it was his love of all things fun and funny that first inspired him to create his own works, and share them with his bemused family.
Amy Celeste Young-Beard has long been involved with the writing and performing of soulful, heartfelt, and yes, often at times quite silly music of many varied styles. Her major role models even to this day are found within the movies and musicals that she grew up with, such as “Hello, Dolly!”, “Mary Poppins”, and “I Love Lucy”. They all had a tremendous impact on the person and entertainer this giddy gal has grown into.
