Hi, I’m Whit. I make music in the Bay Area as Normal Bird.

  • To/From Nancy

    This album was recorded April-May 2018 on a Zoom R8 digital recorder. It was recorded in an RV named Nancy, in a van next to the ocean, in Tilden Regional Park, and in a certain big-box music store that shall remain nameless.
