Featured Tunes: Andrew Bird

Andrew Bird's music is simultaneously intense and dreamy. This Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist, lyricist and whistler, is a master of his own orchestra. His career spans a decade, continuing to artfully escape labels and keep fans and critics guessing with every live performance and new release. Looping a wild range of his roots as a classically trained violinist with swing jazz, calypso, blues, and a smattering of eclectic pop, Bird creates a fresh, innovative sound that cannot be matched. If you have a moment, listen to Andrew Bird's performance of Nomenclature from his album Noble Beast released this year. Video is courtesy of Pitchfork TV.
