Andrew Bird (born 1973, Chicago) is an American singer-songwriter, violinist, whistler and multi-instrumentalist known for solo albums and looping-based live performance.

Born in Chicago in 1973 (mentioned in DeBaser review). Plays violin, guitar and glockenspiel; uses lip whistling as an instrument; builds layered arrangements via looping in live performance. Formerly associated with the Bowl of Fire; Armchair Apocrypha was released on Fat Possum (review notes).

DeBaser reviews praise Andrew Bird's violin, whistling and loop-based arrangements. Critics highlight strong songwriting and inventive arrangements on Armchair Apocrypha, Noble Beast and The Mysterious Production Of Eggs. Overall reception is favorable, noting originality and performative skill.

For:Fans of indie folk/indie rock, violin-based singer-songwriters, and experimental pop.

 Just hearing the shy yet confident initial notes and the introductory, gentle vocalizations immediately makes you realize that the recent latest endeavor of the young and talented songwriter/multi-instrumentalist from Chicago will inevitably find a place in our tender yet disorganized little heart.
