The band Cloud Cuckoo Land is a performing duo from the book Cloud Cuckoo Land by Lisa Borders (ISBN-13: 9781579660307), which was published by River City Publishing in 2002.

The band consists of two members: Miri Ortiz and Jamie.

Miri is a vocalist and guitarist from Prairie Rose, Texas who was abandoned by her drug-addicted mother, raised by her grandmother and through various adventures, winds up a homeless street busker in Philadelphia.

Jamie, a gay man who could have studied music at Juilliard but dreamed of a life in rock and roll instead. Jamie plays guitar.

They call their duet Cloud Cuckoo Land, a sort of bird heaven, a name that describes their musical dreams and recalls the kaleidoscopic landscape of Miri's coming of age.
