Andrew Bird is pretty fun if you're in the right mood for him. Mellow. Chill. Amazing on the violin. A far better whistler than a singer, but still decent.

If you are wanting metal, hip hop, or danceable music, just stop now and go elsewhere. If you want to kick back and relax, give this a try...

EDIT: Start the vid at about 1:20.

Truly underrated artist..seen him a few times in Chicago. Good guy as well. I am a hard rocker at heart but his jazzy folk music seems to calm me down every time. Very relaxing...

He's awesome. He periodically does tours where he performs strictly in churches with 500 or fewer seats. This isn't a religious thing, he finds churches that have good acoustics and fairly small rooms. It makes for a very intimate concert that can largely be acoustically supported, rather than amplified. It's a totally different sound, and it is a sound that suits him. Have seen him several times in shows like that, vastly prefer it. I'm bringing him in later this year for a show.

He's a talented dude who brings other talented folks together to make pretty quality music.

I saw him in Columbus. He was playing as the second set of a three set show. I had gone to see him play. While the third act was on the stage, he went back to his merchandise table and was there with like one other person. I got to meet him and I think I scared the piss out of him. I'm not a small dude and I get really excited sometimes. He was nice, but I was blow away by how tiny he is. You don't see it when he's on stage or in videos, but the guy is like... SCARY thin. Anyway... I do love his music. His best show I've seen was where St. Vincent opened for him and it was really a toss up as to who should be opening for who.
