Photos: Andrew Bird @ KPRI Hornblower Cruise

This was truly a concert experience unique to San Diego. Every month, KPRI hosts a free concert on a Hornblower Cruise for their frequent listeners, or “FREEQs” (you can sign up here).

Leaving the dock.

I’m a big fan of Andrew Bird, and was looking forward to seeing him play in such an intimate environment. I skipped his last show at Soma, because frankly, I didn’t think the sound at Soma would do him justice. The boat, however, did.

He played a long set that was loosely based around nautically-themed songs. The sunset was gorgeous and the temperature over the water didn’t drop as much as I had expected.

It was quite packed, which meant I was taking photos from several rows back, but I made do. The ones with the Coronado Bridge in the background are some of my favorite photos ever.
