    Bird Streets brainchild John Brodeur has been a solo artist at the crowded power-pop table for years. Despite delivering some solid efforts in \u201cGet Through\u201d in 2009, and the follow-up, \u201cLittle Hopes\u201d in 2013,  full-blown, stand-alone success has been an elusive main course for the multi-talented New York-based singer\/songwriter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Time has its way of chipping away at one\u2019s artistic soul, however, and by 2014, the table scraps he\u2019d survived and depended on for his musical sustenance simply weren\u2019t enough. Brodeur\u2019s inner self needed to be fed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cI kind of hit a wall after my last solo album,\u201d Brodeur said in an interview. \u201cThere was no promotion behind it, and it didn\u2019t make much of a dent. Things weren\u2019t growing. Then a few setbacks forced me to cancel a bunch of tour dates, and it felt like the universe was trying to tell me something. It felt like a good time to take a step back and reassess how I wanted to present myself. While I\u2019m decent at the indie-troubadour thing, I\u2019d gotten tired of the trappings that go with the term \u201csinger\/songwriter.\u201d So Bird Streets is the sound of me pressing the proverbial reset button. It feels more natural to work under a band name with this kind of music. Plus it looks cool on a T-shirt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For his next project, Brodeur aimed high and enlisted the services of Jason Falkner (Beck, Air, Paul McCartney, Jellyfish, etc.) as co-writer, co-player and producer for Bird Streets, and also brought in sonic canvas strokes from guest musicians such as Luther Russell (Those Pretty Wrongs) and Miranda Lee Richards. The resultant self-titled debut album released Aug. 10 features some of Brodeur\u2019s finest work to date. Whether or not it\u2019s his ticket to the big table has yet to be determined, but the process has reshaped Brodeur and provided a readily apparent spring in his step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
