Let's just say that 2009 was somewhat forgetable musically, as seemingly everything took a back seat to work, family activities, and a major house renovation...complete with a flooded basement that shut my studio down for 6 months...but a little new carpet, fresh paint, and a new year has got me looking forward to new musical possibilities...
I'm working on a new studio album for 2010 and hoping to finish by late summer...
I'll be reviving the house concert series again with concerts beginning this fall...
Refining my chops on dobro as well as taking on a new instrument...pedal steel!
If you've been wondering what happened to the live album, it's still in the works...there were a number of songs I had really wanted to include on the album that I just didn't have good recordings of, so in conjunction with work on the new album I'll be recording a couple concerts sometime this year to complete that project...
So thanks for checking in and I will post more details as they become available...
What's up for 2010...
"Down" garners awards!
"Origami Heart" from Andy's latest studio album "Down" received a third place in the Great Lakes Songwriting Competition held this summer. The competition receives entries from the five states that touch the great lakes, and this year over 600 entries were received. The songs "Icarus Knows", "September Mind", and "Don't Know Why" also received honorable mention!
New CD "Down" now shipping!
