Andrew Bird @ the Prospect Park Bandshell

Andrew Bird was excellent last night at Prospect Park's Bandshell arena, successfully jump starting Celebrate Brooklyn's summer series!   Bird's set consisted of an array of songs from his countless albums  while giving a good deal of attention to his earlier works.  He also introduced a number of new songs showcasing his staccato plucked melodies, haunting violins, and notoriously brilliant whistle.

And the weather was perfect.  Despite an extremely hot week, Friday night cooled off just right! Making the show a perfect spot for a picnic dinner.

The festival offers free music performances, films, theater and more all summer long!
