A three-time International Songwriting Competition Finalist (2010, 2011, 2012, Folk/Singer-Songwriter Category), Andy Brown has
emerged a must-see performer on the Canadian and International music
scene. An official Taylor Guitars and Sennheiser Microphones artist,
Andy's song ‘Ashes’ was featured in ABC's hit show ‘Rookie Blue’ in the
fall of 2011 which helped shoot both the song, and his sophomore album
‘False Alarm’, to #1 on the iTunes Canada singer/songwriter charts. The
album and the song also charted in the top 10 in the same category on
the US iTunes charts. His music has since been featured on NBC, CTV,
Global TV, Showcase, and CBC, and has earned him a slew of national and
international songwriting awards and nominations (2010/2013 Music New
Brunswick Awards, 2013 UK Songwriting Contest, 2012/2013 Unsigned Only
Competition).
With performances alongside some of Canada's top
musical exports (Joel Plaskett, The Trews, Matt Mays, Hey Rosetta,
Hawksley Workman), support slots for 5-time Grammy Award winners The
Blind Boys of Alabama, and tour stops from Sydney, Nova Scotia to
Sydney, Australia, the last few years have been non stop for Andy. His
honesty as a songwriter, expressive showmanship, and soaring vocals have
made him a fan-favourite wherever he performs.
Andy’s latest
album ‘Tinman’ was released on April 30th, 2013. The 13 song L.P.
features co-writes with some of Canada’s most renowned songwriters,
including David Myles, John Angus MacDonald (The Trews), Damhnait Doyle,
and Tim Chaisson. In the past twelve months, Andy has visited Australia
three times (supporting Australian legends such as Ian Moss, Ray Beadle
and Diesel), performed in front of sold out crowds in East Canada and
is making waves around North America. Andy’s last Australian tour was as
a direct, nationwide support for Australian Idol Winner Damien Leith’s
national ‘Without a Fight’ CD release tour with Andy also penning two of
the tracks featured on Leith’s new album.
Andy is currently in the studio writing and recording for his next album to be released in early 2015.
‘Whether its the quiet, romantic stuff or the bouncy folk-pop of Lost.
These are all complete, tight songs with impact, any one of them able to
stand alone as a polished gem,..this album should be taking him to a
lot of places, including awards podiums - Bob Mersereau, East Coast
