Singer/songwriter, violinist, and whistling aficionado Andrew Bird has announced the release of his upcoming twelfth album entitled, Break It Yourself. Due out March 6 on Mom + Pop, the album was recorded and produced by Bird in his own barn in western Illinois near the Mississippi. After making two late year appearances at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Bird has scheduled an expansive tour to support his latest work. As an added bonus to all concertgoers, all of Bird's concert tickets are bundled with a unique musical package including a redemption code to download Break It Yourself upon release date, a download of Fake Conversations, a live EP culled from Bird’s fall 2011 tour, as well as and a second souvenir live EP from the 2012 tour this coming spring.
