About Pagoda Starling

An acoustic singer-songwriter duo

Dreamy harmonies, moody melodies, and intimately intertwined guitars are the hallmarks of the Pagoda Starling sound. Folky, emotive, and subtle, our songs reference vintage folk, acoustic rock, and alternative influences from the 60s through the 90s — and the end result is distinctively original.   

Pagoda Starling is a collaboration between singer-songwriters Seiji Gutierrez and Briana Doyle. We have been performing together since 2018, first as part of a local quartet (The Breeze) before we formed our duo. 

We are currently working on recording our first album. For updates on this, as well as information on upcoming performances, please follow us on Facebook or sign up to our email list.

We wish to acknowledge that we live on unceded Indigenous land. The Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) Nation is recognized as the traditional custodian of the lands and waters of Tiohtià:ke (Montreal), which has long served as a place for many First Nations to live, meet and exchange. We also wish to recognize the strong ties that unite the Anishinaabe Nation to this territory, which is known by these people as Mooniyang (in Anishinaabemowin). Today, the Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang lands are home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other people. We respect the continued connections to the past, present and future in our ongoing relationships with Indigenous and other peoples within the Montreal community and beyond.
