Andrew Bird Gets All "Gezelligheid" With Us Again
In what we're hoping is the beginning of an annual tradition, Andrew Bird has announced dates for another set of "Gezelligheid" concerts this winter at Chicago's Fourth Presbyterian Church. A dutch word loosely translating to "cozy," Gezelligheid describes the intimacy of these performances as Bird takes the stage solo and setlists are simply a suggestion. Last year there was a lot of conversation, explanation and rare showcasing of the original incarnations of now well-known songs, as well as melodies in the works.
Washington DC and Boston have also been added to this year's Gezelligheid schedule. Tickets for Chicago dates, December 16 & 17, go on sale this Saturday and are $35-$40. For additional information on other cities, visit Andrew Bird's website.
