Andrew Hoover's Bio
Hailing from Fairfield, Connecticut, singer/songwriter/guitarist Andrew Hoover brings to the table a pot full of home cooked acoustic soul, R&B, blues, and sprinkled with some tasty flamenco and pop sprinkles (the colored kind). Though Andrew is a solo musician, his unique percussive/slap guitar style carries inspirations from the bass and percussion instruments forcing you to strap on your dancing shoes and hit the floor. His vocals are raw and original, colorful and dynamic. They are energetically soul inspired and his lyrics are poetic and insightful. Andrew takes his cues from a variety of his heroes including but not limited to Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Marc Broussard, Ray LaMontagne, Raul Midon, James Morrison and Martin Sexton. With that said, his wide range of influences is evident in his unique and varied repertoire and endearing performances. Andrew has released two solo-acoustic EPs since July 2007 and is scheduled to record his debut album complete with a full band in November 2008. This Fall Andrew signed with Rock Ridge Music (Sister Hazel, Reel Big Fish, Pat McGee, Ernie Halter). Throughout his career Andrew has shared the stage with Tim Reynolds—whose fame emanates from his extraordinaire musicianship and his duo performances with Dave Matthews as well as Dave Barnes (Razor & Tie Records), Ryan Montbleau Band, Dirtie Blonde (Jive Records), Ernie Halter (Rock Ridge Music), Ari Hest, the Alternate Routes (Vanguard Records) and Kate Voegele (Myspace Records).

Thank you so much for introducing me to your circle of friends, and for taking the time to leave a few words of introduction.
I find your music to be enchantingly upbeat, compelling, fresh and original, something that I know will keep on drawing me back again and again. I can't thank you enough for seeking me out to share such joyous treasures, except to add bravo!!!
Wishing you happiness and tranquility in all things.
Here's a peaceful scene, not far from where I live, to add to your local Fairfield County greenery, as a souvenir upon which to reflect, and for good luck.
Just stoppin' by to check out your page. Hope you're having a good week. Check out this video of a guy I found playing Al Di Meola note for note. Now that's diligence.
Awe that sucks having laryngitis. I guess that is one of the job hazards of singing for a living. I worry about this happening since we all book venues far in advance. Do venues take cancellations well? I wonder. My kids have been sick and I'm doing just about everything to avoid getting their cold since I have gigs coming up soon too.
