About Andrew Bird

Andrew Bird, an s American musician, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist was born on July 11, 1973. Bird graduated from Northwestern University with a bachelors degree in violin performance in 1996 and self-released his first album, Music of Hair, in the same year.

He formed a group named Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire shortly after his first release and released an album in 1997 with his band named Thrills and Oh! The Grandeur in 1998. In 2001, the Bowl of Fire released their third album, The Swimming Hour. The band failed to attain commercial success or recognition, playing to audiences as small as 40 people. Bird was asked to open for a band in his hometown of Chicago, but fellow Bowl of Fire members were unavailable for the date. The reluctant Bird performed the gig alone, and the surprising success of this solo show suggested potential new directions for his music. The Bowl of Fire unofficially disbanded in 2003 and Bird began his solo career. In 2003 his two subsequent albums ,Weather Systems and Imitosis were released. In 2005, his album Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs was released. In September 2006, Bird signed to Fat Possum Records, and in March 2007 he released his third post-Bowl of Fire album, Armchair Apocrypha. Bird's fifth solo album, Noble Beast, was released on January 20, 2009.
