Through a glass, darkly.

About Me


Originally from Ottawa, Ontario, Andre is a Montreal musician who began performing and writing while completing architecture studies at McGill University. He has since assembled a varied original repertoire spanning stripped-down alt-country, the darker edges of acoustic folk, and the roots-accented outskirts of rock. He has just completed his debut CD, Nowhere & Main, recorded at Montreal's UrbanHanded Works with the participation of numerous local musicians, producer Gern f. and engineer Cecile Doo-Kingue.
Released this past June, the disc is available through Andre or at Grumpy's Bar (1242 Bishop) and in no sensible record stores whatsoever.
You can also find the record, or download individual tracks, at:

For those of you not in the know, Andre can also be seen on various instruments with Little Birdie, fronted by singer-songwriter Orit Shimoni, as well as on lead guitar and vocals with The Jimmyriggers.
