Andrew Bird to Release New Album. Tour Dates / Presale Happening Now
OK friends, these BIG NEWS type newsletters are my favorite newsletters to write and they only come every couple years so indulge me for a moment, if you please….
…First, look away from your computer / phone / pad / device screen. Look out a window, see a patch of sky, or if you live in sunny climes, go grab a breath of fresh air.
Ahhh! Wasn’t that pleasant! We all spend too much time computing / typing / texting / and not enough listening / enjoying / breathing.
Ok. Public service breath awareness moment over. Thanks for listening. NOW…
New Album = Break It Yourself
We’re very excited to announce that Andrew’s new album Break It Yourself will be coming out in the spring - March 5th in Europe and March 6th in the US to be exact. Look for much more information on the release at the start of the new year, including the pre-sale of a delicious deluxe edition.
2012 US & European Tour Dates
Tickets for the first batch of 2012 US tour dates go on pre-sale at 10am CST today. General onsales begin this weekend, December 9-10 (Oakland December 18) so if you miss out on the early birds don’t worry. Tickets are also available for the European tour in March (London is nearly sold out, so hasten!) and Field Day festival this June.
