We are more than storytellers. We are changemakers.

 Laura Brino is a singer-songwriter and visual artist based in Annapolis, MD. Having spent her youth using the arts to heal and process the world around her, she is driven to tell stories through her music. Laura has released 5 original albums to date with her most recent album, No More Surprises being released in 2022, following the traumatic birth of her second child. 

Laura is working on her 6th studio album currently which will be coming out in 2023. As a survivor of both sexual assault and birth trauma, Laura is committed to providing a platform for other women to come together and share their stories in order to heal, inspire and empower.  The Songbird Festival encompasses the healing power of arts and community in uniting around a shared experience to help make change for future generations. 

 Danah Denice is a 26 year-old singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Stevensville, MD. She’s been publicly playing music and creating visual art for the last seven years, with music as her sole source of income. 

As a survivor of domestic abuse and sexual assault, her primary focus has been self-healing through both art and song, in addition to learning about and utilizing both Eastern and Western therapy modalities. Unfortunately, it has been very difficult for her to find affordable and effective care, and knows full well that the search can feel endless and disheartening. She firmly believes that ALL women — regardless of race, financial status, gender identity, etc. — deserve access to free and low-cost healing, which is why she has helped kickstart The Songbird Collective.
