::: Andrew Bird
::: Ogden Theater
::: 02.26.09

The tall glass of water known as Andrew Bird played to a sold out crowd last night at the always inviting Ogden Theater. A well-coiffed Bird and his charming anecdotes amused the crowd creating samples and beautiful music on stage and looping everything all at once. If I was as good as he is on the gee-tar or the violin, I would sample myself too. The night was heavy on the new material off of his newest masterpiece, Noble Beast. The evening’s unsung hero came in the form of band member Martin Dosh. Dosh has quietly been pumping out music and Lord only knows if he’s Bird’s muse, but some of the experimental and adventurous avenues being explored were being experienced on stage right.
