Singer/songwriter/violinist Andrew Bird will be performing at the Greek Theatre on Friday, July 10 at 7:30 PM with Ra Ra Riot and Heartless Bastards supporting.

Live reviews from past performances confirmed what Bird’s diehard already knew. "Bird could be the only performer who's lit up both Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo with a combi-nation of vocals, violin, guitar, glockenspiel and whistling... he uses centuries-old instrumentation to give depth and soul to folk rock, “said Esquire while the San Jose Mercury News raved, “Mesmerizing…The records are great, but watching him do it live is something every music fan ought to check out.” The New York Times marveled, “At one point he had his guitar slung behind his back, his violin and bow in one hand and a glockenspiel mallet in the other as he whistled into a microphone. He has a sweet, warbling, perfectly in-tune whistle - like a Walt Disney bluebird - that he floats through the rest of his musical constructions, sometimes in unison with the glockenspiel for an otherworldly effect.”

Released January 20 on Fat Possum Records, Noble Beast debuted at #12 on the U.S. album chart, selling over 25,000 units in its opening week. The debut was the highest of the week for an independent label release and second overall. Noble Beast was also that week’s highest selling record in Bird’s hometown of Chicago.
