Light Listening

Andrew Bird's soft, pretty tunes are perfect for unwinding.  I love to listen to him when I'm studying or sitting outside on a sunny day.  He has a light and effortless sound that can be entrancing.

Andrew Bird - Tenuousness

Originally from Chicago, Andrew Bird is an incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist.  Listening to his music, you would think there are multiple musicians playing.  In actuality, Bird's playing solo.  He alternates between vocals, violin, guitar and glockenspiel - with whistling and live violin loops thrown in as well.  Having learned to play the violin at a young age, Bird graduated from Northwestern University with a bachelor's degree in violin performance in 1996.  He grew up surrounded by classical music, taking an early interest in Irish tunes and bluegrass.  Bird will be performing in Richmond, VA on July 11 at The Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden.  As he is known for his jaw-dropping shows, you better catch him while he's in town!
