American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird first gained prominence as a member of the Squirrel Nut Zippers and, consequently, a prophet of the swing revival of the mid-90s. Since that time, Bird has shifted through a stunning variety of musical skins both independently and through numerous collaborations. But even with the variety, his music can best be described as centering around folk and singer-songwriter tendencies. He released his eighth solo disc in 2009, titled Noble Beast.
