Be Lyrebirds was born out of a mutual passion for music and song writing. Core members Eric Lawrence and Caleb Bilgen started playing together in 2007. They jammed together whenever they could find a spare moment. From 2007 to 2009 both were still living in Ankara, Turkey, Caleb as an international student, and Eric as a teacher at an international school.

They both bring interesting backgrounds to the duo, Eric having been born and raised in Papua New Guinea, and Caleb being a Jewish-Turkish-American who grew up in Turkey. This, coupled with their shared taste for many different styles of music has influenced their eclectic sound and diversity in their song writing.

Over the past two years they have collaborated with various other musicians to complete their unique, "patchwork" collection of 13 songs. Their first album, Dayenu, was released on Nov. 19, 2011, and many new songs are in the works.

During the 2010 year Eric and his wife Hannah-Lee spent 7 months teaching in Papua New Guinea, where Hannah-Lee joined Eric in the song writing and performing. And so the two became three. Be Lyrebirds are excited to take to the road and share through their music.

In 2014 Christopher Walls joined us adding great bass lines and vocal harmonies.

On September 19, 2016 Be Lyrebirds release their second album bilas.
