Andrew Bird Adds a Few Shows, Blogs Some More
Photos by Keith Klenowski
Collaborations, studio sessions and, of course, a little time at the blog spot-- all in a day's work for Andrew Bird. The singer/songwriter/violinist/whistler recently lined up a handful of new dates to go along with the somewhat sporadic itinerary he's made for himself over the next few months, including a run out west with Josh Ritter.
Of course, the infrequency of Bird's tour plans probably has something to do with that record he's working up in Nashville with producer Mark Nevers. Bird again blogged about the process for The New York Times' Measure for Measure blog, and if he's to be believed, the record may sound like an amalgam of Studio One echo, the Zombies, Steve Reich, and "Ghanian street music."
And if that ain't enough genre-bending for your tastes, catch Andrew, Jel and others as they join Dosh at Minneapolis' Walker Arts Center May 3.
