Not sure if we can embed youtubes here?  Anyway please take a few minutes and watch this youtube, i promise it will be worth your time.

I just started listening to him because he's gonna be at Telluride and after only a few days this has turned into one of my most looked forward to shows.   Cheers

I feel like I'm so late to the party with Andrew Bird.

Andrew Bird is flat out great. Every time.


For what it's worth, Andrew is playing with his current project, "Andrew Bird and the Hands of Glory"
...which features Tift Merritt.


Here's a taste of what that sounds like:

And, Andrew Bird will soon be releasing an entire album of covers of Handsome Family songs.  Amazing.   Medal

Have I ever mentioned that the Handsome Family would be a perfect fit for Telluride?  I expect we will hear one or more selections from this new release during his set.   Thumbs Up

Everything about him , the way he moves and sings is overflowing with emotion and creativity.
 I am saving him for dessert Flower

I will not listen! Nope not  for one more minute!!! Flower So I can save this treat, my first listen, in Telluride at Fest.
Something about always creating firsts at Fest.  Medal

THE SOUND, THE ELEMENTS THE PEOPLE! THEY ENHANCE AND AMPLIFY EACH OTHER!

 Like purple and green. Medal


GOOSEBUMP CITY!

Thank you Flower
