Andrew Bird: A Unique Soul

Andrew Bird, the 9:30 Club, February 3

Playing a nearly two-hour set, the multi-talented, classically trained violinist Andrew Bird, also apparently a professional whistler, mesmerized a packed house at the 9:30 Club. He played violin; he plucked the violin; he sang; he played guitar; he whistled, and he kept things interesting with a lot of creative looping.

Longtime Bird fan Orr Shtuhl enjoyed the show and was most excited to hear one of his favorites,"Why?" off The Swimming Hour. The song was one of the only older songs he played other than "Privateer," a new song that Bird reworked from an earlier song, "The Confession."
