Andy Carhart – Life & Love
Andy’s music showcases a passion for both the acoustic and electric guitar. He offers a wide variety of contemplative works that invite the listener to embrace the moods and emotions of the changing moments of life. Andy brings forth a unique and immediately identifiable artistic style through the seamless blend of genres including instrumental guitar, rock, and electronica. His latest releases include Someplace; Sometime (2021) an EP offering five powerfully emotional songs and Breakdown (2020), a collaborative single that further expands his stylistic outreach into new territories both musically and regionally.
Andy’s love for musical diversity is reflected deeply within his body of work that caters both to fans of the eclectic and lovers of technical proficiency as he draws inspiration from many genres and combines them with the teachings of life.
