About

Andrew Bird is an internationally acclaimed, Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, whistler, and songwriter who picked up his first violin at the age of four and spent his formative years soaking up classical repertoire completely by ear. Since beginning his recording career in 1997, Bird has released 17 albums and performed extensively across the globe. He has recorded with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, appeared as "Dr. Stringz" on Jack's Big Music Show, and headlined concerts at Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House, Walt Disney Concert Hall, and festivals worldwide.

Bird performed as the Whistling Caruso in Disney's The Muppets movie, scored the FX series Baskets, and collaborated with inventor Ian Schneller on Sonic Arboretum, an installation that exhibited at New York's Guggenheim Museum, Boston's ICA, and the MCA Chicago. Bird has been a featured TED Talks presenter, a New Yorker Festival guest, and an op-ed contributor for the New York Times.

More recently, Bird released a series of site-specific improvisational short films and recordings called Echolocations, recorded in remote and acoustically interesting spaces: a Utah canyon, an abandoned seaside bunker, the middle of the Los Angeles River, and a reverberant stone-covered aqueduct in Lisbon. Additionally, Bird hosts an ongoing series of live-streamed performances called Live from the Great Room, putting the creative process on display for fans as he collaborates and converses with friends in a candid, intimate setting.

Shortly after receiving his 2020 Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album, with My Finest Work Yet, Andrew Bird made his professional acting debut in the cast of Fargo's fourth installment, which concluded on FX in November 2020 and is currently streaming via Hulu. In March 2021, Bird released his latest project, These 13, an album entirely co-written and recorded with his longtime friend and former Squirrel Nut Zippers collaborator, Jimbo Mathus. Captured live to tape, just the two of them playing and singing from opposite sides of a microphone, These 13 marked the first set of new music that Bird and Mathus created together in more than 20 years.

  • Bird is even better LIVE!

    by MBInnes on 10/26/09The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    Andrew Bird is an amazing performer! His show was very passionate, and speckled with interesting and quirky dialoge. His set ran smoothly, with a great balance of upbeat, louder songs and quieter more thoughtful/acoustic ones. Bird is so unique because of his wonderful whistling abilities, and the way he recorded his whistling and/or violin, and then looped it and played over that was mesmerizing. I enjoyed the way he included the opening act, St. Vincent, by bringing them onstage to play all together. Do most bands do that? The duet with the lead was beautiful, too. My boyfriend and I REALLY enjoyed the show. Only problem for us was the time of night- at 8 PM on a Sunday (instead of a Saturday). After the show, we didn't get back up to Scranton, PA, until 1:30 AM. We were tired driving and it was tough to get up for work Monday!

  • awesome andrew bird show!

  • Andrew Bird - Must See

    by soldierwithin on 10/26/09The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 4 out of 5

    If you like layered music with lots of great energy you'll enjoy this show. this guy is very talented.

    Great show! The opening act was St. Vincent, not bad, but her performance felt a little long for an opener. I was wanting to get to some Andrew Bird! However, It was a lot of fun to see both bands jamming together. Great show.

  • Andrew Bird Delivers Again

    by Yalegirl03 on 10/26/09The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    I've seen Andrew Bird in concert about four times this year. He is never a disappointment. His show at the Electric Factory on October 25th was as wonderful as expected. He played a nice mix of old and new songs. The opening act St. Vincent was also good. They played a few songs with Andrew Bird and his band and those worked very well. A nice treat was a duet between Bird and the lead singer for St. Vincent of her song Marry Me where Bird played violin. Bird also performed a new song that was stellar. Anonanimal was also wonderful. On the tour one of the bandmates had been playing the saxophone to accompany Bird. Early on, the saxophone seemed to drown out Bird's voice. But, at this show it blended perfectly. My favorite part was an instrumental interlude where Andrew Bird got all salsa-licious. One of the roadies came out and danced like mad while playing the tambourine. While the music was hot, I admit that the unexpected dance routine sealed the deal for me. Those narrow hips were hipnotic! He even had this seventies porn star mustache.

    Andrew Bird is one of the greatest live performers if only for the fact that he basically constructs each song he plays on stage as he goes. With the looping, different instruments, whistling and singing, he makes an original version of each of his songs. This is the second time I've seen him in concert and I've been blown away both times. My one complaint was that he was slightly guitar heavy last night (i prefer more violin!) but generally amazing. Martin Dosh and the other guys are also a great compliment to him. The version of "marry me" he did in the encore was awesome and sweet and Happy Birthday Song was so different than studio that I didn't recognize it until he started singing. Awesome.

  • Andrew Bird is unique

    by LoneJane3390 on 10/26/09The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    Wonderfully talented! I loved every thing, the whistling, the singing, his master of the violin.

  • by Anonymous on 10/26/09The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    Andrew Bird can serenade me with his whistle & violin any night. Absolutely Awesome. St. Vincent was just as amazing.

  • Bird and Annie Clark were terrific!

    by philadelphonic on 10/26/09The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    First of all, the show was already worth the time and money by the time the opening act had finished. St. Vincent, namely Annie Clark, did a marvelous job. Andrew Bird put on a spectacular show as expected and even invited St. Vincent back to the stage for a couple of songs. It was very entertaining and nice to see how well they worked together. All around is was a terrific show that I would highly recommend.

  • I LOVE ANDREW BIRD

    by Anonymous on 10/25/09South Portland Auditorium - PortlandRating: 4 out of 5

    I drove up from Boston to see Andrew play in a high school auditorium.. and it was great! From the moment Andrew kicked off his shoes til the very end - loved every minute. Also, props to the South Portland HS bake sale folks - my friends and I loved the cookies :-)

  • by Anonymous on 10/25/09South Portland Auditorium - PortlandRating: 5 out of 5

    An incredible show. Annie Clark sings like an angel, and Andrew Bird is a genius. When they played together, it was phenomenal. I would have liked to hear more of Mr. Bird, but he did play for 2 hours!
