Biography
Pop Montreal calls Li’l Andy “Montreal’s best country songwriter today.” The Village Voice describes his music as “Roots-based Americana that actually deserves to be made”. In the past decade, he has released 4 albums, toured Canada extensively, been featured in the New York Times, and been named
“Best Country/Folk Act” in Cult MTL four years in a row.
Andy began performing in Montreal in 2003. Since that time, he has developed a reputation for producing grandiose, oneof-
a-kind concerts in the city’s most prestigious concert halls. Most recently, the Pop Montreal Festival and the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art handpicked him to lead
5 Albums/5 Concerts, a multi-part concert series that sold out within a day of being announced, allowing him to play with some of Quebec’s most revered music stars. In 2013,
he conceived and mounted Li’l Andy 3D, the world’s first simultaneous live concert and 3D movie, in collaboration with the NFB.
Known for his bitingly witty songwriting and dark country-noir sound, Andy is a two-time award winner at GAMIQ (Quebec Independent Music Awards). His new album, All The Love Songs Lied To Us, will be released in September 2019.
“… a performer who commands a stage effortlessly through his baritone voice and engaging between-song banter…”
