Andrew Bird

On April 9, 2012, Andrew Bird took to the KEXP Studios in Seattle for a live performance of "Danse Caribe," a track that beautifully showcases his signature blend of folk, rock, and classical influences. Leading up to this recording, Bird had just released his album "Break It Yourself" in March 2012, an introspective work that delved into themes of love and loss, and fully embraced his multi-instrumental talents. It’s fascinating to note that during this period, Bird was known for his distinctive violin playing and whistling, making him a unique figure in the indie music landscape. The live recording captures his vibrant stage presence and musical dexterity, traits that have endeared him to fans and critics alike. It's no wonder he says that performing live brings a different energy that you can’t replicate in a studio setting.
