Hi, I'm Andrew Bayuk and welcome to my official MySpace spot. My all-original music is mostly described as a funky blend of folk-rock that packs a punch. Currently recording my second full length CD, I'm a singer/songwriter committed to creating and performing captivating and relevant folk-rock music, providing a soundtrack for modern daily life, and the political and social issues of our day.
Heavily influenced by The Beatles, John and Yoko, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and the Grateful Dead, my music has an acoustic folk backbone with an electric rock overlay and is laced with accompanying and background harmony vocals.
Featured on television and radio, my music is finding its way to the mainstream audience.

In addition to my more conventional songs about life and love, I'm determined to provide songs for people who still care about PEACE, our less fortunate fellow citizens, are fed up with the unfettering of big business at the expense of the public, are tired of having our environment compromised so the rich can get richer, are tired of being lied to and led into an illegal war for oil and profit, and still have the dream of a solid decent America that is strong at home and respected around the world. Seems like we're so far from that now, but I am ever the hopeful one, and we all need to do our part to get some change.

My song "Smokescreen" is about the Iraq War. The electric version of "Save the USA" is a call for our representatives to do the job that they've been elected for, and cut the crap already! And, "Heroes of a Broken War" honors the troops while still admonishing the Iraq War. These can be heard HERE . Please feel free to comment on all these songs, both here and there, I'd love to hear your thoughts, whether you like them or not.
My current live show is composed of two 45 minute sets of all original material. Contact me to book me for gigs, festivals, house parties and private events. In addition to sending me a message through MySpace, you can contact me directly for bookings HERE .

I have a passion for ancient Egypt. I've created and maintain one of the original, largest and most comprehensive ancient Egypt websites on the Internet at: http://guardians.net
Here you can explore the pyramids, tombs, temples of Egypt and much more.
The song, "Weighing of the Heart" is based on a scene from ancient Egyptian scrolls which depict one of the older scenes of the judgment after death ever recorded. The live acoustic version of this song debuted on my "Mixed Messages" CD.
