Andrew Bird is an internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, whistler and songwriter who picked up his first violin at the age of 4. After first soaking up classical repertoire completely by ear, he became interested in a variety of styles including early jazz, country blues and folk music, synthesizing them into his unique brand of pop.

Since beginning his recording career in 1997, Bird has released 13 albums and has recorded with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, appeared as "Dr. Stringz" on "Jack's Big Music Show," and headlined concerts at Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House and festivals worldwide. Before pursuing a solo career, he was a member of the bands Squirrel Nut Zippers and Bowl of Fire.
