About Me

"Music is sacred ground. It's a place where you have to tell the truth about what you've been through, who you are, and where you're going. I love how a good song can show you the world through someone else's eyes in three minutes." -David Wilcox, singer, player and songwriter extraordinary.

Three minutes with Andrew Landers is time well spent. He speaks his truth with creativity, texture, soul, and wit in music that ranges from acoustic folk simplicity to blues-rock intensity.

Andy permeates his music—challenging you to deepen your love for fellow sojourners and acknowledge how desperately we need each other on these broken roads we walk.

Andy believes, “Good music touches the core—both of culture and of the soul. It is the high ground. We ought to give it as much authenticity and excellence as possible."

He not only believes this, he works it out in his music without compromise—bravely navigating the listener through the struggles of life to a better place. Whether you find him in a coffeehouse, festival, smoky bar, or packed concert hall, one thing is for sure—after seeing and hearing Andrew Landers, you will not look at life the same way.
