Opener: Only Son

I passed up their Lolla pre-show which I heard was amazing so I scored tickets right away for their November return to Chicago at the House of Blues. Should be a pretty good way to celebrate my birthday! If only it wasn’t on a Monday…

Here’s a look at what you missed if you didn’t catch them at Lolla this year. See if you can spot me in the crowd.

Andrew Bird returns to Fourth Presbyterian Church for another holiday Gezelligheid Concert. I can’t remember if this is his third or fourth year doing it, but if this year is anything like seasons past, it will be Andrew solo on stage with his crazy gramophone-style horn speakers looping away.
