Andrew Bird Tickets:
American musician, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Andrew Bird was born on July 11, 1973. Trained in the Suzuki method (a method of teaching violin to young children that took advantage of their natural language acquisition skills) from the age of four, Bird graduated from Northwestern University with a bachelor's degree in violin performance in 1996, and that same year self-released his first solo album, "Music of Hair." This album showcased his violin skills and paid homage to his love of both American and European folk traditions, as well as jazz and blues styles, and would be vastly different from his later work. Following this, he gained his first commercial exposure through his musical collaborations with the band Squirrel Nut Zippers, appearing on three of their albums (Sold Out, Hot, and Perennial Favorites). In 1997 Bird released the album "Thrills" with his band Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire, which featured musicians from his home town of Chicago, and followed it with "Oh! The Grandeur in 1998." Both albums were heavily influenced by traditional swing, folk, and pre-war jazz, with Bird relying on the violin as his primary instrument and providing vocals along with his trademark verbose lyrics. The band unofficially disbanded in 2003, leaving Bird to pursue a solo career. His next two albums were released on Ani Difranco's Righteous Babe Records label. "Weather Systems" (originally released on Grimsey Records) was a sparse record with a dramatic change in musical direction. "The Mysterious Production of Eggs" continued a shift towards an eclectic indie-folk sound, and both records formed a stark stylistic break with Bird's earlier work. As his sound changed, Bird made increasing use of glockenspiel, guitar, and whistling in his songwriting, along with his traditional violin and vocals. In 2006, Bird signed to Fat Possum Records. He is known for improvising and reworking his songs during live performances, and performing at art shows and museums across the country in addition to more traditional venues.
