Concert Review: Andrew Bird, Ryman Auditorium, Nashville, TN, 3/19/12
[Previously, on Southern Roadtrips with How’s My Living?: Andrew Bird at the Tabernacle.] Today we got to visit with some ghosts. We got to Nashville around the middle of this afternoon, and we did a little: went to Grimey’s, walked down Broadway (so many places to buy cowboy boots, so little time), looked out at […]
Concert Review: Andrew Bird, Tabernacle, Atlanta, GA, 3/17/12
“I shouldn’t be operating heavy machinery,” Andrew Bird said at one point during Saturday night’s show, when a song got off to far too brisk of a tempo. Â If you haven’t guessed by now — it seems to be a common theme for every one of Bird’s extended tours, these days — Mr. Bird is […]
