History

The ensemble was conceived and formed during the pandemic lockdown of 2020, meeting via Zoom.[1] The group explains the original of its name as follows:

Starling Arrow was born after learning more about the starling, an iridescent songbird known for its cooperation with its fellow birds to create beautiful murmuration patterns in the sky. Arrow speaks to the aim all 5 artists have together as songbirds, to create a song from collaborative inspiration and have it land in a place of unique beauty. Starling Arrow is meant to convey "The song sent with aim from the bow of the muse."[3]

The group gave their debut performance at the Hawk and Hawthorne in Barnardsville, North Carolina in July 2022.[3]

The ensemble released its first single, "Wild Sweet", in October 2022.[2] The song received a positive review from Ear to the Ground.[4]

The group released its second single, "Into the River", in November 2022. Randy Radic, writing for Guitar Girl, described the song as "brilliant".[5]

The ensemble released its third single, "By the Jordan", in December 2022.[6]

The group has announced that their first album, Cradle, is due to be released on January 26, 2023,[7][2] produced and engineered by Tina Malia in both Nevada City, California and Asheville, North Carolina.[3]
