Wikipedia sez: “Andrew Bird is an American musician, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. He was born in Illinois and resides in the Chicago area. Bird’s musical expertise encompasses proficiency in violin, whistling, voice and guitar, amongst others. He was often pegged by critics as a musical chameleon early in his career, displaying his varied musical influences without, perhaps, adding anything new. His years of solo song-craft have now enabled him to produce a sound that is uniquely his own.”

Andrew Bird is an interesting creature who makes interesting music. Listening to his live stuff your ears get a little bit of everything - some classical style violin, add some hip-hop inspired drums, a little bit of electronic sampling with Bird doing the res when singing, whistling and playing guitar. The sounds that come out as a result are unique, and from the little bit I have listened to so far I like it, but really need to hear some more to form a true opinion.
