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.

    Sheer brilliance

    by Mike h on 2023-07-29

    From the first note, a pleasure for the ears, there is a lot of talent in the world, but the package we heard listening to Andrew bird and his bass player and drummer. Well what a joy, so refreshing.

    One Small Issue

    by badsneakers67 on 2023-04-14History - Toronto

    We saw Andrew Bird at History last week. The venue is very good with one small issue. Our seats were on the mezzanine in box 204. The washrooms were right behind our seats. If Andrew was doing a quiet song, it was hard to hear because of the hand dryer noise from the bathrooms. As we all know, today's hand dryers blow air at Mach 2 in a room with nothing but hard walls. Like I said not a huge issue but one they owners of History should consider fixing.

    Andrew Bird is absolutely phenominal

    by naynay on 2023-04-13History - Toronto

    It was my first time at History, and oh babyyy!! this is my new favourite venue. The layout was great! Can fit a big crowd, but still felt really intimate, and the sound was fantastic! That mixed with one of the best musicians of our time made for one epic evening!! Andrew Bird, and his two fellow musicians made music that sounded like it was coming from a huge orchestra. Every song was a banger! and Madison Cunningham joined in for a few tunes which made the night even better! She was something to behold, unbelievable tone with such great playing style. Lastly, Ted Poor was an amazing surprise. He opened the show just with a drum kit, and the whole crowd was mesmerized. I have never seen anything like that, and may never see it again. It was an amazing show!!

    andrew bird review

    by cbird on 2023-04-12History - Toronto

    This was an amazing concert! History is a great venue, so spacious and clean. I came for Madison and enjoyed Andrew Bird and the first opener too. Sound quality was great and drinks weren't too pricey.

    Andrew would sound great anywhere...

    by Hovis on 2023-04-12History - Toronto

    Andrew Bird is amazing live. He's so good, he'd sound perfect in a school gymnasium, and his band this time around was tight! Close your eyes and listen hard though, because the Toronto venue though left much to be desired. We're well past our standing for four hours through a concert phase, so were in the mezzanine at History, and though it's been updated, it's essentially a glorified betting lounge. They have monitors just above eye level that blasted out ridiculous ads for Clorox and gambling sites all through the opening acts (rude). The open bathrooms meant every 2 seconds you heard someone drying their hands - it was LOUD. And there was a lot of chatter because, lounge, I guess. We were able to enjoy the show despite these distractions, but would've enjoyed it much better at one of the other, far better venues in Toronto like the Danforth or, here's hoping one day, Massey Hall. Also, there's a massive pillar at eye line that wasn't flagged when we bought the tickets; we were informed of the obstructed view when we received the etickets several months after purchase. This was our first time at History, and unless there's an act that we absolutely must see and this is the only facility they're playing, we won't be visiting again.

    Beyond Expectation

    by peppercorn.ranch on 2019-09-26The Danforth Music Hall - Toronto

    I laughed, I cried, I commiserated, I understood, I failed to comprehend. The man is a genius, a legend. His band was the stitching in the spine of his novel. Absolutely perfect performance offered by everyone involved. Even the crowd was great.
