The ensemble cast includes Bethany Joy Lenz, Rumer Willis, Robert Hoffman, Wes Brown and Tracie Thoms. From Universal Cable Productions,"Songbyrd" is from writer Krista Vernoff (Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Shameless) and executive produced by Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (The 2013 Academy Awards, Chicago, Smash).
