After the difficult second album ‘Sweet as Syrup’, prog-rock legend, coffee raconteur and maestro of all things flavoursome; Sweetbird, is taking to the road to allow his many adoring fans the chance to sample why the little bird from across the pond is such big news.

The ‘Born to be Sweet’ tour has already played out to a packed crowd at the Southwest Food Service Expo (Dallas, Texas June 2009) and the next leg of the tour looks to build upon the growing popularity of Sweetbird and his range of free from artificial colors, flavors and preservatives smoothies, syrups and sauces.

Tour roadie and Sweetbird spokesperson Amber Boulton commented “We are all excited by the prospect to bringing the Sweetbird experience to venues across the world over the next few months. We are making sure that the world knows about the great range of syrups, smoothies and sauces that are in the Sweetbird range all of which are free from artificial colors, flavors, preservatives and genetically modified ingredients as well as being approved for vegan and vegetarian diets.”

The Sweetbird range was launched back in 2006 and has steadily grown to become the must have choice for the stylish barista and coffee shop owner looking to offer their customers an alternative to those products that are artificial and synthetic.

The full range of over 50 Sweetbird products will be supported on this tour by the Zuma range of hot chocolates, frappe mixes and chia powders; all of which are approved by the Vegetarian Society UK and are free from artificial colours, flavours, preservatives and genetically modified ingredients.
