About

James Andrew isn't just making music; he's crafting sonic landscapes, inviting listeners to wander through introspective folk melodies and ethereal soundscapes. Emerging from what feels like a deep-woods retreat, Andrew’s sound, heavily influenced by Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes, breathes new life into the modern folk scene. His intimate vocals, layered harmonies, and meticulous production create a deeply personal experience. Andrew’s debut album, "Portals," released in 2019, served as a breakthrough, garnering critical acclaim for its nuanced storytelling and innovative use of organic instrumentation. Before then, his early EPs hinted at the potential simmering beneath the surface, but "Portals" was the volcano’s eruption. He has spent the last few years touring regionally and cultivating a loyal fanbase drawn to his authenticity and melancholic beauty. His music resonates with a generation searching for solace and connection in a digitally saturated world. Andrew’s refusal to chase trends, opting instead for a raw and honest expression of his own experiences, is his greatest strength. While collaborations have been limited, his work with local artists has further solidified his position as a key figure in the burgeoning indie folk community. Currently, James Andrew is reportedly working on his sophomore album, promising a further exploration of sonic textures and emotional depth.
