2011 was an exciting year for me as a solo artist. The release of my cd, “In the distance” was a huge accomplishment that fueled the ambition to play my songs live. I played out nearly 30 times at various bars and coffee houses, selling a number of cds along the way. Playing solo after years of playing in a band is like learning a whole new game. There is no one to lean on or cover your mistakes!

I started hosting an open mic twice a month at Café Zia in Roseville. Through the open mic, I have met a diverse group of talented people from the Twin Cities with every artist bringing their own blend of talent. You never know who is going to show up to play.

Through all of the activity I even found time to write some new songs, which I have been playing live at my gigs. See you in 2012.

Thanks for listening and “Keep music LIVE!”
Andrew
