TONIGHT: UAA Concert Board presents Andrew Bird at Atwood Concert Hall, Nov. 15

Tuesday, Nov. 15, 7:30 p.m.
Atwood Concert Hall

Andrew Bird's first trip to Alaska will feature the artist in a solo performance showcasing his musical chops, as he will play all instrumentation. Bird's musical mastery will make the Atwood show a can't-miss opportunity.

Andrew Bird released his last album, Noble Best, in January 2009. The self-produced album consists of 14 original songs recorded primarily at the Beech House in Nashville, with additional recording taking place at various Chicago and Minneapolis locations over a period of five months. As usual, Bird handles violin, vocals, whistling and guitar, with back up from live cohorts Martin Dosh (percussion, looping, keys), Jeremy Ylvisaker (guitar, bass, organ, shortwave) and more recently Mike Lewis, plus a supporting cast including Kelly Hogan, Todd Sickafoose and the band Loney Dear.

"Bird could be the only performer who's lit up both Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo with a combination of vocals, violin, guitar, glockenspiel and whistling... He uses centuries-old instrumentation to give depth and soul to folk rock."--ESQUIRE (Nov. 2008)
