The American Tobacco lawn will become a cinema for again this summer with another FREE event this Friday. On the Lawn Presented by University Ford & Kia and Bull City Bucks features the second Movie on the Lawn of 2012 with “Andrew Bird: Fever Year” on Friday, July 6th.
Filmed during the culminating months of the acclaimed singer-songwriter’s most rigorous year of touring, Andrew Bird crosses the December finish line in his hometown of Chicago – feverish and on crutches from an onstage injury. Is he suffering hazards from chasing the ghost of inspiration? Or merely transforming into a different kind of animal “perfectly adapted to the music hall”?
“Fever Year” is the first to capture Bird’s precarious multi-instrumental looping technique and features live performances with collaborators Martin Dosh, Annie Clark of St. Vincent, and others.
The movie begins at 9pm under the water tower. Bring a chair or blanket and pick up dinner from one of American Tobacco’s great restaurants.
