A classically trained violinist, former jazz musician and now art rock virtuoso, Andrew Bird is one of the more imaginative voices in music today.

Essentially a one-man band, Bird plays bits on the violin and guitar or whistles tunes, records and loops the sounds and plays new layers over them. The result is a mix of gypsy ballads, jazz and rock. His performances are famously unpredictable and full of improvisation. Check out his multitasking skills here for a taste of Bird in action.
