Andrew Bird and Madison’s own Pale Young Gentlemen concluded this year’s Forward Music Festival in Madison. It was a wonderful conclusion to a festival that has grown immensely in just one year and we’re already looking forward to what’s in store for year #3. Ed Oliver was on hand, seeing Andrew Bird for the first time and nabbed the shots below.

Discuss: What did you think of Andrew Bird? How did Pale Young Gentlemen sound on the big stage? What were your highlights of the Forward Music Festival? Is it too early to list who you’d like to see next year?
