02.04.11Review: Andrew Bird at The Rio in Santa CruzAndrew Bird returned to the bay area this past weekend for two sold out shows at the Rio Theater in Santa Cruz.

01.29.11Andrew Bird at The RioAndrew Bird returns to the bay area this weekend for two sold out shows at the Rio Theater in Santa Cruz. It's been 10 years since he played Santa Cruz, and he seemed blissfuly happy to be back. Can't remember the first song, it was something off of Useless Creatures. He then played “Why,” a fierce note to his college roommate. At the end of the song, Bird said that he's played "Why" at every show for the past 10 years. He explained it's a way for him to get everything out of his system and to stretch out. “Natural ...

05.11.09The Wanderlust Festival: Yoga + Music + moreHave you ever day-dreamed about what your own version of "a perfect music festival" would be like? My version would be small (like Treasure island), in a beautiful natural setting (like Rothbury), with a luxury hotel within walking distance (like Lollapalooza), musical acts and shows till the wee hours (like Bonnaroo) great organic food, yoga and massages during the day, and childcare available throughout. Well I'll be damned. Wanderlust has come amazingly close to my "dream festival." Other than the child care, it's all there. A boutique, three-day experience, Wanderlust brings together the world"s leading yoga teachers and awesome indie ...

03.05.09Review: Andrew Bird @ The Fillmore[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="900" caption="Andrew Bird @ The Fillmore, February 19, 2009"][/caption] First off, props to the crowd at Andrew Bird's Thursday show at The Fillmore. Humanity is evolving. We all had some personal space, there was a minimum of chatter and a lot of enthusiasm for Mr. Bird as well as his opening band, Loney Dear. It's never easy as a tall photographer, especially when there's no photo pit. You know you'll be in someone's way, even if it is just for two songs. It really puts me in a great mood when the folks about me are friendly and ...
