Andrew Bird will return with his annual Gezelligheid holiday shows this winter in addition to a number of solo dates. Focusing mainly on the west coast with one Chicago show, the tour will begin October 18 at the Index Festival in Dallas, TX and conclude December 20 at the Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, CA.

Bird will be joined in his Gezelligheid performances by Tift Merritt. Borrowing from Dutch, Gezelligheid loosely translates to “cozy” in English. These shows focus mainly on instrumental violin pieces in addition to giant Victrola horns.
