Our Team
Oriana Hawley
Oriana Hawley wears many hats but has never stopped singing at the dinner table. Oriana founded BlueBird Programs while at Columbia University to bring together mutual aid, direct distribution, political outreach, and progressive artistic efforts. Want some music? Oriana willf find it! Alongside organizing, Oriana is an improviser, violist, vocalist, and artist from Washington Heights, NYC.
River Smith
Want a zine? River’s your librarian! River does most of their work before Blue Bird concerts organizing and creating political education literature to be distributed, or after these events to help distribute the funds raised. River works with Bronx Jail Support and We the People to see that all the money Blue Bird raises goes to feeding, clothing, and supporting the people of New York City.
Oliver Grannis
Oliver brings an energy that can only be described as caffeine powered, two in the morning chaos. The only thing to do is to play and write music! What else is there when you get down to it. Oliver is there at every BlueBird concert and scheming meeting to do what needs to be done. We couldn’t do it without them.
