From his debut album, “Ragged But Right”, recorded with his band Memphis 59, to his first solo effort “Down This Road”, he captures the essence of hard living, hard work and hard times in deeply personal lyrics delivered by a whiskey-tinged bar room voice wrapped up inside a whole lot of full-tilt country-rock guitar.

ANDREW O'DAY

An open hand reaching into your soul and holding your heart may best describe the way Andrew has spliced broken words of emotion. The lyrical content of his original writings could easily be listened to through a mono-tone metal box, hanging off the side of the driver’s door window. Although he has spent many years as a young musician, collaborating and teaming with others that are equally motivated to find themselves in their spiritual quest for the perfect sound of a strumming heartbeat, the time has come. He is ready to share his acoustic guitar and sage, soulful sound…
