Folksy troubador Andrew Bird’s name has popped on two area concert calendars for this summer. He will be appearing at The Arvada Center for Arts and Humanities and the great barn at Chautauqua in Boulder on August 9th and 10th respectively. Both are intimate venues that should provide a fantastic background for Bird’s wildly eclectic take on folk music.
Since age four, Chicago-based songwriter/performer Bird has been playing music ranging from classical to early country blues, but has spent the past 13 years writing pop music infused with unconventional violin, glockenspiel, guitar, and his trademark whistling.
Bird has released 11 albums, most recently the widely lauded Noble Beast (2009) which has won praise from Esquire, the New York Times Magazine, and NPR, among others. Amazon.com recently named Bird’s Mysterious Production of Eggs, including original artwork by print artist Jay Ryan, one of the “100 Greatest Indie Rock Albums of All Time.”
