John McAndrew

John McAndrew is a storyteller, and it can truly be said that it is his passion for telling a tale that is attracting the attention of adult contemporary listeners and blues/pop fans. With his jagged and soulful voice, his music is uplifting, inspiring and is captivating audiences across the United States.

The story of John McAndrew is one about overcoming difficulty, redemption, hard work and not
giving up. McAndrew vowed that with the second chance at life that he was given, he was determined to not waste any more time. He began to play solo piano gigs, jazz and blues gigs, and started writing songs with a passion he never knew before.

Before long, people began to take notice, and John ended up at the famed Muscle Shoals Studios for his first major recording contract and album, "Like We Were Made of Gold". This led to his next album recorded in LA called, "Good Enough". John then moved to Nashville and recorded two more albums, "Small Crowds" and "I Am Home".

Johns' music is his life, and his songs and story telling have moved audiences all over the world, and can be heard in several films, "Jesus, Mary and Joey" starring Jennifer Espisito, Olympia Dukakis, Charles Durning and Stacy Keach, "Jake's Corner" starring Richard Tyson and Dianne Ladd, and "Little Red Wagon" a film by David Ansbaugh, and as part of many National Events. John’s song, “Birmingham” is featured at the Birmingham Civil rights Museum in Birmingham, AL. John recently added a "one man show" on Broadway to his repertoire that received much acclaim.

John believes that music is power, and that this power can used for good. His CD, "Forgiven" speaks to all, highlighting the imperfect,the lost, and the fallen. It is about the journey back to hope that will touch everyone. “Forgiven” was in Grammy Consideration in Roots Gospel Music. John followed that up with “Souls” which garnered Grammy Consideration in  the Americana Music Category. His newest project,”Walkin Back” is due to be released in the summer of 2019, and features many members of James Taylor’s All Star Band including Michael Landau, Jimmy Johnson, and Luis Conte.

"John McAndrew reminds me of the early days of Billy Joel, when people sat at the piano bar, putting bread into his jar, saying, "man, what are you doin' here?!"- He is simply great at the piano, and has a voice that can light you up."

- Billy Powell, Keyboard Player, Lynyrd Skynyrd,
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee

"The greatest artists are those whose lives are their art. John IS his music - honest, tender, tough. Always an echo of the heartbeat of life. All of John's music arises out of that heartbeat. If he sings about it, it is because people have lived it. More than anything else, John's music is life, listening to itself."
