Andrew Bird often just backs himself by looping multiple instruments together. I've seen him at venues for 1,000+

Fiona Apple.... usually just her and a piano (and a guitar when I saw her)

I forgot about Andrew Bird. I've seen him live but forgot all that looping was created live and rather than pre-recorded.

Didn't know about Fiona Apple. Would love to see that show.

Yes... I have seen him with a drummer once, but many other times solo.

Fiona seems to prefer things on her own as even her albums have little accompaniment. I've only seen her once. Not sure she even toured on this last album.
