About Me


Andrew Morriss is a talented and accomplished singer/songwriter as well as being a performer with high musical standards capable of emotionally moving an audience with his presence and delivery.
Anyone who's been fortunate enough to hear Andrew play will recognize his natural ability to communicate through his music and touch the innermost soul of the listener, with souring melodies form his rich warm voice accompanied skillfully with intricate finger picked guitar, with a style that incorporates the best of folk, pop, rock and blues and is interpreted and delivered in Andrew's uniquely pleasing style.
Recording:
Andrew's debut album "Just Believe" was released in 2003 through Andrew's own label Refractive music. The song "The One" also appears on Kid Antrim Music soft rock / easy listening compilation CD.
I'm proud to endorse both Schatten Design Pickups and La Patrie Guitars.
