Andrew is a former member of the Dualtone recording group Mellow Down Easy. In 2012, he helped form the band Lions for Real. Shortly thereafter, they were signed to actor Ryan Gosling and Timmy "The Terror" Anderson's Los Angeles label Werewolf Heart Records. Recently, he has released a couple of solo projects in the past year under the pseudonyms The Colored Parade and Indigenous Engines.
Andrew's latest album "Glass Castles" is made up of 13 new songs which are steeped in a varied mixture of Americana, Blues, Country with shades of Folk-Rock. Unique melodies with compelling and provocative lyrics keep the listener engaged and intrigued. Andrew's soulful vocals guide you in a soft yet edgy manner through stories of ghost towns, coal mines, self-doubt/self-worth, smokey bars and the precariously reckless side of love. The songs are well-crafted and pieced together in a thoughtfully ambitious style. His distinct production style ties it all together in a cohesively viable, true artistic body of work.
