With his stirring, soulful vocals, eccentric violin plucking and whistling, and music that ranges from blues to calypso to rock, electronic and just about everything in between, Andrew Bird has built an impressive international fan base. Chock full of concert and private Bird performances, both with his band and solo, Fever Year offers a look into the life of a remarkable contemporary musician and composer for whom each day, who despite all his success, is still a struggle.
