Sidney Bird, the up-and-coming pop sensation, made her mark in Washington, DC, with an energetic performance at Comet Ping Pong on Nov. 2. Touring to promote her latest album, Snowbird, Sidney’s music reflects her blend of western influences and east coast alt-pop vibes, which she playfully coins as “Cactus Pop.”

Listen to Snowbird by Sidney Bird on Spotify:

A native of Arizona where she honed her craft in the Phoenix musical theater scene, Sidney now resides in Brooklyn, where she is crafting her own genre of pop that blends western influences with east coast-inspired alt-pop production. She calls it Cactus Pop: fun, western, and cinematic.

Sidney’s latest single, “Biters,” offers pure cinematic excellence. The song revolves around pretentious young men in upper-class circles who display immaturity and chauvinism. The comedic music video, shot in Palm Springs, depicts the narrative of a housewife and her pool boy. Sidney showcases her exceptional talents with humorous charm and elegance.
