Kyle Andrews

Growing up in Chicago, recording became an important element of communication to Kyle at an early age. As he tells us, “When I was 6 years old, my mother had to spend a week in the hospital. To comfort us while she was gone, she recorded a homemade ‘book on tape’ for my sister and I. that tape transformed her familiar voice into something new and surprising.” That tape also opened up a whole new world for Kyle, as he began to pass the time in his room making up songs and recording them on his boom box.

When describing the album, Kyle Andrews tells us, “Amos in Ohio starts with me basically in this stupor (“everything’s fine, but I think I’m losing my mind”) and throughout the record I’m fighting for my dreams. I guess fighting for that sense of naiveté that makes life fun. And in the end of “Shower With the Sun Shining In” (I won’t let go of the love that I’ve grown”) I decide to hold onto it, despite going through some depressing moments, I’m pretty manic in real life – I try to stay positive with my writing.”

With Amos in Ohio making the rounds, looking for Kyle to emerge from the safety of his home studio to breathe new life into his songs on the road later this summer and into the fall.
