Andy White

Posted 26 October 2009 Events, Featured

Belfast-born and now Melbourne-based singer songwriter Andy White releases his 10th album ‘Songwriter’ this Autumn following the recent ‘Garageband’.

Recorded in Vancouver, Canada with members of Po’ Girl, the Be Good Tanyas, and Neko Case’s band, it’s a new, rootsier musical direction for Andy, and reflects writing collaborations he has been working on for the past few years.

There are songs co-written with Canadians Allison Russell (Po’ Girl), Stephen Fearing (Blackie and the Rodeo Kings), Australian writer Sean Sennett and one-man Scots hit factory Stuart Crichton.

Autumn also sees the release of ’21st Century Troubadour’, Andy’s collected on the road tour journals, scheduled for publication in October by Lagan Press.

His colourful career includes a stint alongside Tim Finn as one third of folk super trio ALT, appearances at WOMAD festivals all around the world, collaborating with Peter Gabriel, and winning the prestigious Hot Press Songwriter of the Year award. Best known for songs such as ‘James Joyce’s Grave’ and ‘Religious Persuasion’, Andy combines a pop sensibility with social commentary, once earning him the nickname ‘Belfast’s Bob Dylan’.
