We’ve slowed things down a little after the high energy of summer, so we hope you enjoy this more meditative and reflective soundtrack for September 💛

Watching the leaves change colour is one of our favourite parts of autumn, so it felt like a real honour to witness these greens, yellows and golds during our trip to Blackwood Forest, England last year - where we took this photo!
Have a lovely weekend,

We’ve noticed a lot of new people around here lately, so we thought it was probably a good time to reintroduce ourselves!

We’re Alex & Beth - married, from the UK, and yes - Rainbird is our real name 🌧️🐦

For the last 15 years, we’ve dedicated our lives to independent music: sharing songs from incredible artists all around the world, and somehow this little community has grown into one of the biggest platforms for indie music discovery 🤯

We’ve travelled taking photos for our videos, met hundreds of artists in person, presented music at Carnegie Hall in New York City and at festivals, made podcasts, live sessions and 24/7 radios… it's all beyond our wildest dreams and we are so grateful for your amazing support.

Away from music, we’re obsessed with everything autumn, pizza, scary movies, nature and all things cozy ✨

It also feels like we're one of the last places left supporting human-made music - we are very careful not to share anything artificially generated, and only feature real, authentic musicians.

So whether you’ve been here for 15 years or you’ve just found us today…

it’s great to meet you 👋

We made it everyone - happy September 💛

Celebrate the start of the month with an amazing soundtrack of independent music with our first September compilation, out now!

We put on our cozy socks for this photo last year at the beautiful Blackwood Forest - look out for more photographs from this stunning part of England throughout autumn! 🧦

Hope you enjoy and have a beautiful start to September,

THANK YOU Between The Trees Festival.

After four unforgettable days of presenting amazing independent music in the middle of a forest in Wales, we’re really glad we took these photos since it all feels like a crazy incredible dream.

We’ve spent hours rewriting this post because it’s so hard to put how much this means into words, but we’re going to try…

To be invited back to the festival after our first partnership in 2025 was already an honour, and somehow this year was even more special.

We had the privilege of introducing ten incredible artists and bands on stage. It’s the most surreal thing to discover a phenomenal artist on the internet, share their music countless times over the years and communicate over hundreds of emails, to then finally meet them for the first time and watch them perform the songs that have soundtracked so much of our lives. They were all absolutely brilliant.

And to then have people come up to us to say that they’ve been following us for years, or that they really love a particular artist that we brought to the festival, or told us stories about songs they adore that we helped them to discover… it’s completely beautifully crazy and utterly beyond anything we could have ever expected when we started alexrainbirdMusic all those years ago.

Thank you to everyone at BTT for looking after us, being so kind and trusting us with something so special. If you came up to say hello or simply enjoyed the music from afar, we couldn’t be more grateful.

And even if you couldn’t make it but have ever supported us in the past – thank you. This happened because of you.

We love you all 💚

Alex and Beth

There are moments in life where you just need to stop and take it all in.

Later this week, we’ll be back at a music festival, presenting artists for the second year running.

That is absolutely crazy.

We started sharing independent music on YouTube as a hobby, at 16, while at school. With no plan, no expectations, and absolutely no idea what the heck we were doing.

We’re honestly still making this all up as we go.

But somehow, through our sheer love of music, this little hobby became something much bigger than we ever imagined.

To every independent artist we’ve ever featured, and to all the music lovers in our incredible community, you made this happen.

None of this would exist without you.

So if you’re at Between The Trees Festival this week, we’d love to say hello. We’re so excited to bring our music discovery offline and into nature.

We will see you in the forest. 💚

Good morning! Here's a beautiful 'Sunrise' to start your day 🌅

This is the debut single by the wonderful sister duo Fieldlily, who we'll be presenting at Between The Trees Festival next week! If you need four minutes of hope and optimism, you are in the right place.

There's something truly special when a smaller independent artist covers a massive hit song. There's no pressure, no expectations... just a talented human honouring a song they love. We're celebrating that magic with this video - our first-ever covers playlist!

cozy acoustic covers is out today 🪕

You may already know these songs... but you've never heard them this cozy before. It's the perfect background music for literally anything, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did putting it together ☕

Have a lovely chill weekend!

We've been working together on alexrainbirdMusic all day, every day, for the past nine years... and somehow we're still going!

Here are some realities of working with your partner ❤️

We don't always agree which songs make our playlists...

Taking photos of each other is easy, but getting a good photo of both of us means battling the self-timer...

About 90% of our filming time is spent laughing and forgetting what we're supposed to say...

We celebrate every win together, and help each other through the stressful days...
..and honestly, we wouldn't want to do it with anyone else 🥰
