event Andrew Bird

Chicago-based songwriter/whistler Andrew Bird has presented his sprightly violin riffs and formidable vocabulary to an opera house and on a children’s television show, so the logical next step is for Bird to submit his indie pop at the altar of God. Thus, Bird’s current tour will stop by a few churches, including St. Mark's. The shows will draw inspiration from the Dutch concept of “gezelligheid” (loosely translated to “coziness”), meaning he’ll spurn the PA system and focus mainly on instrumental pieces. Whether Bird will toss in a track or two from this year’s Noble Beast remains to be seen, but there’s no doubt the album’s inherently warm pop would translate well in a non-electric church show.
