Andrew Bird, referred to by some as a Chicago troubadour, continues to fly pretty far afield, both musically and geographically. When the Paradiso in Amsterdam, a sold-out show at the Barbican Centre in London, Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and Carnegie Hall in New York are on your tour schedule, you know an artist has hit a chord with the international listening crowd. I can’t get enough of this Northwestern grad’s inventive and infectious music. Check out these youtube clips and Bird’s web site so you can have your own Bird sighting and sounding.
