Bradley Andrews

Here is how Bradley describes himself--

I am a poet -- My songs often begin as poems. I like to tell stories about my own life and my search for meaning, for love, for connection. I also have a playful, irreverent side that comes out at times. My songs capture both the serious and playful side.  

I am self-taught -- I never learned to use a pick, and developed my own finger-picking style over a number of years. I loved listening to Leo Kotke and banjo players and tried to bring some elements of those sounds into my own.

I respect all paths -- I am open to and interested in other cultures and their spiritual traditions. I learned to meditate at age 20 and have explored many religious traditions - Christianity, Sufism, Shamanism, Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism. There is wisdom and beauty to be found in all paths. They will all lead us home.

Bradley Andrews is a singer-songwriter who plays a mix of folk and Americana. Some have described his genre as 'Zen folk'. He has a smooth, easy sound and a clean,  finger-picking style guitar.  He has performed his original songs in coffee houses, pubs, and cafes across Washington and Oregon.
