Happy 45th birthday today to Andrew Bird who was born on 7/11/73. The violinist and composer was initially known through his work with the band Squirrel Nut Zippers but now is one of the most distinctive musical voices in the world with a sound that is truly only Andrew Bird. His albums that include Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs (2005) Armchair Apocrypha (2007) and Noble Beast (2009) and Break It To Yourself (2010) are all critics favorites. Watch Bird perform live at KEXP in 2012…..
