Andrew Bird, born on July 11, 1973 in Chicago, Illinois, is a versatile artist known for his unique blend of virtuoso violin playing and folky guitar. Formerly the frontman of "Andrew Bird's Bowl Of Fire," he recorded three albums with the band before embarking on a successful solo career. Andrew's music is characterized by his signature whistling and his willingness to experiment with new sounds and musical techniques.

With an impressive discography spanning over two decades, Andrew Bird has established himself as a prominent figure in the music industry. His innovative approach to combining different instruments and genres sets him apart from other artists. Whether it's through his intricate violin melodies or soulful guitar strumming, Andrew consistently delivers captivating performances that resonate with audiences worldwide.

Known for pushing boundaries and challenging traditional notions of music-making, Andrew Bird fearlessly explores new avenues to create refreshing compositions. His ability to seamlessly merge various elements into cohesive masterpieces showcases his exceptional talent as both a musician and a songwriter. From intimate acoustic ballads to lively orchestral arrangements, each track reflects Andrew's unwavering dedication to crafting extraordinary sonic experiences.

'hands of glory' is an eight track companion piece to his previous album 'break it yourself'. the latest album was inspired by bird's recent 'old-time' live sets; it was recorded with bird's full band, all playing acoustic instruments, gathered around a single microphone in a church and a barn. bird's live solo shows have been notable in that he uses a multi-track system to sample and loop his own performance. for example, he may record a snippet of his performance on violin, then play a 'loop' of that sound. this provides a more full-bodied sound and aurally suggests a band performance, rather than the sound of a solo artist. andrew bird is a singer, a violinist and, since 2004, a guitarist, he is also an accomplished whistler. trained by the suzuki method from a young age and a graduate of illinois' northwestern university, bird released his first solo album, 'music of hair', in 1996.
