The end of last week saw the release of Andrew Bird & Jimbo Mathus’ ‘These 13’ which we reviewed here. Bob Fish concluded his review:
Jimbo Mathus and Andrew Bird know musical forms in a scholarly way, yet These 13 is in no way an erudite scholarly work. It is the kind of effort that illustrates how traditions can be passed down from generation to generation while adding elements that continue to breathe new life into old forms.
The duo have now announced a livesteam concert on April 11, which includes early access to a Director’s Cut of These 13 Documentary. Watch the trailer for the documentary below on which we hear Jimbo telling us:
“we have mythology on the record, we have the human heart in conflict with itself, we have madness, we have rural themes, we have urban themes, all woven together in a web of connection that Andrew and I have.”
On April 11, Jimbo Mathus and Andrew Bird will perform These 13 as part of a special concert they’re live-streaming from Ojai, CA. Tickets are now available, and include access to view the director’s cut of a raw, intimate and unreleased documentary they filmed while making the record.
