As an aspiring musician, Andrew Bird’s music fills me with a sense of wonder and excitement as I listen and dream of someday being half as good as him. With music that can make your heart soar, give you goose bumps, and make you feel incredible things, Andrew Bird is truly a musical genius. Andrew Bird seems to be able to make the most beautiful music you’ve ever heard up on the spot. Known for improvising on stage, using loops to play over himself, and of course his sock puppet that always seems to be somewhere on stage, Bird’s performances leave you absolutely captivated. Each song seems to have something different and new as he explores different styles and sounds. Bird writes in such a unique way that it’s almost impossible to compare his music to anything you’ve heard before. His amazing use of violin and his wonderful ability to whistle some of the most beautiful tunes could bring a tear to the eye of even the toughest person. Bird’s quiet humor spread lightly throughout the show also leaves the audience laughing as he prepares for the next song. As soon as he started to play, however, a hushed silence falls over the audience as they are immediately drawn in by his playing.
Andrew Bird’s shows always seem to be different and leave you with the feeling that you could go to every single one and still be amazed. Whether he is playing with his band or by himself, Bird always seems to be able to leave you pleasantly surprised, wishing that you could quickly think up as beautiful melodies as he can, and finding yourself humming along to various songs later.
