Andrew Hoover


Andrew Hoover is another one in the singer/songwriter category. He's got an unbelievable voice that is different from most you hear on the radio. I found out about him when I was watching one of Tony Lucca's YouTube videos, and Tony was at one of Andrew's shows supporting his fellow musician friend. I immediately was drown to his style and voice, and HAD to check out his music on iTunes. I ended up buying the whole album, which is one of those albums you can listen to all the way through and not skip one song. He's from Fairfield, CT, but has most of his shows in small venues in NYC. He is best described on his MySpace website BIO... "Andrew is a solo musician, though he voices several instruments in his live shows. His unique slap guitar style carries inspirations from the bass and percussion instruments, giving his songs a groove and rhythm not often associated with singer-songwriters. His vocal style is raw and original, colorful, and dynamic. Andrew takes his cues from a variety of his heroes including but not limited to Stevie Wonder, Otis Redding, Marc Broussard, Ray LaMontagne, Raul Midon, James Morrison, and Martin Sexton."
