High Flying Bird

circa 1969 - circa 1973
The band was together from 1969 to 1973 and released two singles but no albums. They did alot of warm up spots back then for groups such as Jethro Tull, Ten Years After, Fleetwood Mac, Steve Miller and a western tour with Willy Dixon. The band had two drummers (at different times) the first was Barry Cartwright and then Shawn Byrne joined after Barry left. The band then became a four piece with Peter McLean on keyboards /vocals, Brent Shindell Guitar/Vocals, Charlie Bill Knowles, Bass and Shawn Byrne, Drums. Earlier on the band had a singer by the name of Rick McPhee.
