Get Ringtone
Chicago singer/songwriter/violinist
Andrew Bird
updates the traditions of small-group swing, German leider, and New Orleans jazz, mixing gypsy, folk, and rock elements into his distinctive style.
Bird
's projects include his group
the Bowl of Fire
(which also includes drummer
Kevin O'Donnell
, bassist
Josh Hirsch
, and guitarist
Colin Bunn
) and performing as an auxiliary member of
the Squirrel Nut Zippers
; in turn,
the Zippers
'
Katharine Whalen
and
James Mathus
appeared on the
Bowl of Fire
albums
Thrills
and
Oh! the Grandeur
.
Bird
has also recorded with artists like
Pinetop Seven
and
Lil' Ed Williams
, teaches music at the Old Town School of Folk Music, and performed on the score and soundtrack from the 1999
Tim Robbins
film The Cradle Will Rock. His third album, 2001's
The Swimming Hour
, surprisingly found
the Bowl of Fire
turning to pop music, and with excellent results. As bandmembers remained active in their various other projects, the band continued and work on a follow-up began in 2002. To tide fans over,
Bird
self-released a limited-edition EP,
Fingerlings
, which documented live performances of some old and new songs by the band and solo. Early 2003 brought the release of another LP,
Weather Systems
, on the independent Grimsey label.
Bird
debuted on
Ani DiFranco
's Righteous Babe imprint in 2005 with
Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs
. He switched to Fat Possum for 2007's
Armchair Apocrypha
and 2009's
Noble Beast
, both of which were ambitious and eclectic albums even by
Bird
's standards. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

Saw your show in Toronto on April 3rd. Amazing. Too bad we couldn't dance, it's hard to sit still to your music. Awesome job
