Andrew’s debut self-titled album – featuring a collection of eclectic songs with a unique blend of Rhythm, Roots and Country influences – was due for international release late 2020. Due to the ever-evolving situation globally with COVID-19, the album release date has been postponed. Never one to sit idle, Andrew wanted to continue to share his music with fans, and will now release an EP this October. The Love Makes The World EP is a Folk, Ballad, Contemporary and Experimental release and focuses on humans and their relationships with each other, and also the earth.
