Andrew Bird announces the return of his annual Gezelligheid concerts to Chicago’s Fourth Presbyterian Church. Taking place December 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, the series of season-defining holiday shows will continue a beloved tradition that Bird first began in 2009. 

Following the release of new album Outside Problems, Gezelligheid serves as an intimate celebration – a communal experience of comforting music amidst the chilly, seasonal darkness. 

Referencing a Dutch term that loosely translates to “cozy,” the Gezelligheid performances feature a mixture of instrumental violin pieces and fan favorite songs amplified only by Bird’s signature giant Victrola horns. 

Andrew Bird is a Grammy-nominated, internationally acclaimed multi instrumentalist, songwriter and composer who has released 17 records to date. Recording and touring extensively, Bird has performed around the world at festivals and renowned institutions including Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House and Walt Disney Concert Hall. A TED Talks presenter, a New Yorker Festival guest, and an op-ed contributor for the New York Times, Bird debuted on the cast of Fargo’s fourth installment on FX in the fall of 2020. Bird's album, My Finest Work Yet, was nominated for “Best Folk Album” at the 2020 Grammy Awards. Bird’s most recent album, Inside Problems, was released June 2022 on Loma Vista Recordings.
