We've made no secret of our adoration for the mesmerizing multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter-whistler Andrew Bird, so when it was announced that he'd be appearing at City Winery Friday night as part of John Wesley Harding's Cabinet of Wonders, we marked our calendar with a big red AB (yes, with a heart around it). It's been almost two years since Bird last left us spellbound at Radio City Music Hall, and though his appearance center stage on Friday was limited to three songs, he sat in on a handful of other numbers and debuted a new one. Here's video:

John Wesley Harding, Musician/Author
Pseudonamed after the Bob Dylan album, John Wesley Harding (real name: Wesley Stace) is an author, a musician, a record label owner and quite possibly many more things the world hasn't been made privy to yet. Later this year his third book will hit the shelves, but first he's on tour supporting his latest album, Who Was Changed And Who Was Dead (recorded with the Minus Five). Tomorrow night he'll be at (le) Poisson Rouge, joined by the likes of Eugene Mirman and Rosanne Cash, and he'll return to that stage in April for another show with his Cabinet of Wonders (video). Recently he told us a little bit about his endeavours, a super deluxe package available of his latest cd, and bringing his favorite football team, Arsenal, over from England.
