TRI-P Music Festival
Concert
Andrew Bird
June 26 2019, 9.00pm
An acclaimed whistler, multi instrumentalist and vocalist, Andrew Bird picked up his first violin at the age of four and spent his formative years soaking up classical repertoire completely by ear. His latest album titled "My Finest Work" was just released in March this year and now he's ready to bring this new sound on tour.
My Finest Work Yet’ finds Bird grappling with themes of current day dichotomies and how to identify a moral compass amidst such divisive times. “I’m interested in the idea that our enemies are what make us whole—there’s an intimacy one shares with their opponent when locked in such a struggle. If we were to just walk away would our enemies miss us? How did we get to this point and how can we, through awareness of it, maybe pull ourselves out of this death spiral,” says Bird.
