The Mysterious Production of Andrew Bird

“I know we're gonna meet someday in the crumbled financial institutions of this land. There will be tables and chairs, pony rides, dancing bears, and there'll even be a band. 'Cause listen after the fall there'll be no more countries, no currencies at all. We're gonna live on our wits, throw away survival kits, trade butterfly knives for adderall, and that's not all… there will be snacks!”  
~Andrew Bird~

Allow me to have the pleasure of introducing you to Mr. Andrew Bird.  He really is "that cool".  Mr. Bird is a guitar slingin', fiddle jammin', glockenspiel poundin', whistling madman.  He is a true one man band.  Though I pale in comparison, we both grew up Suzuki violin boys...he just made it a little further than me I guess.

Even cooler, check this out.

Dr. Stringz:



I came across his work when he started collaborating with Ani Difranco on her release entitled Knuckledown...and boy I'm glad that I did! Violin has found a new voice in the world of rock with Andrew Bird. He is a wealth of creative perseverance. Keep your eyes and ears out for more great tunes. If you get curious, seek out his explanation to the song entitled "Spare-Ohs". It heightens his level of awesomeness to an elite level...

“Being alone it can be quite romantic, like Jacques Cousteau underneath the Atlantic.  A fantastic voyage to parts unknown, going to depths where the sun’s never shown.”
