Austinist Presents: Andrew Bird at the Paramount

Cameron Wittig

Austinist is proud to present Andrew Bird at the Paramount Theater on February 12, 2009. Bird, whose last visit here was during ACL 2007, will be touring in support of his new record Noble Beast, due in January. On recent tours, Bird has been supported by friend and remarkable percussionist Dosh, but this show is solo. We're excited to see him stripped down, his delicate voice and truly bird-like whistle taking center stage along with his violin and guitar. Tickets go on sale Saturday at noon, but you can win a pair right here, right now (but stay tuned, there will be more chances to win):

This contest is closed. Congratulations, Rasheel!

Bird will be supported by Swedish crooner Loney, Dear - another Austinist favorite and alumnus of our annual SXSW day party.
