Born in the small agricultural community of Elizabeth, Illinois, Bird took up the Suzuki method for violin as a boy and eventually completed a bachelor's degree in violin performance from Northwestern University. His first solo album, <i>Music of Hair</i>, was self-released in 1996. In 1997, he joined the Squirrel Nut Zippers just in time to release their blockbuster <i>Hot</i> releases, though he left the band shortly after. His work with the Zippers and countless other cameos didn't distract from his solo career though, and he released four more records -- 1998's <i>Thrills</i>, 1999's <i>Oh! The Grandeur</i>, 2001's <i>The Swimming Hour</i>, and 2003's <i>Weather Systems</i> -- before the minor commercial breakthrough of 2005's <i>The Mysterious Production of Eggs</i>. In 2007, Bird's eclectic chamber pop became the black sheep of blues label Fat Possum records, when the label released <i> Armchair Apocrypha</i>. - Nate CavalieriPost-Modern Popen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 22:20:45 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.12440&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fandrew-bird%2Fplaylists.rss Few artists better exemplify the term chamber pop than violinist, whistler, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird.
