Andrew Bird

Andrew Bird is a classically trained violinist who cut his teeth playing for swing revivalists The Squirrel Nut Zippers, before releasing three wildly varied albums with Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire.

With the release of 2004's Weather Systems however, Bird began his solo career. With a voice like a matinee idol and a looping pedal, he creates vast and incomparable music, aglow and haunting. He met with huge critical acclaim with Andrew Bird & The Mysterious Production of Eggs in 2005 and when not guesting on a variety of releases (including My Morning Jacket's Z and Dosh's The Lost Take) is currently working on Armchair Apocrypha, due Spring 2007.
