Girl Swallows Nightingale hatched in 2016, when Marica Petrey accidentally wrote too much music for a fantasy film she was making and decided that it was the perfect excuse to start a band. With songwriting inspired by folklore, anime, science fiction, and epic saga, Girl Swallows Nightingale conjures a cinematic experience, painting a vivid musical canvas that shifts its colors between modern rock, jazz, theater, funk, and pop, to underwater sound scapes and dreams of outer space. Petrey delivers dramatic yet playful vocals and is supported by a multi-talented ensemble of musicians who can be found not only on stage with a number of other bands and orchestras, but also at work all over the Bay Area in the realms of theater, film, video games, and radio.
