Biography:
Andrew Bird (born July 11, 1973) is an American musician. He was born in Lake Bluff, Illinois and resides in the Chicago area. Bird is a singer, a violinist and, since 2004, a guitarist. He is also an accomplished whistler.
His early work, which echoed gypsy jazz and traditional folk, has led into his current sound, which mixes rock with more broad compositions. His years of solo song-craft have now enabled him to produce a sound that is uniquely his own.

Bathing in florescent light

Of a western Tennessee gas station

With a pack of two-way action

I'm subsisting on a fraction

Will my house plants be all dead

Half-melted bag of Tastations

A state of peristalsis or a parastatic stasis
