David Andrews has been a member of the national music scene now for more than 25 years. A respected and reputable singer\/songwriter, David delivers sentimental lyricism with a gritty, yet refined musical style that Performing Songwriter Magazine describes as, \u201cachingly beautiful and intelligent\u201d.<\/p>\n
David\u2019s success began in 1990 when he co-founded and fronted the ever popular jam band CALOBO with his life-long friend Caleb Klauder. Based out of Portland, OR this group would become one of the nation\u2019s most successful independent jam bands, a reputation earned through relentless touring and by building a massive fan base. CALOBO record sales have reached an estimated 150,000 despite their disbanding in 2001. With the arrival of the 21st<\/sup> century, the band members parted ways and started new projects such as\u00a0The Decemberists<\/a>, Foghorn Stringband<\/a>, Caleb Klauder Country Band<\/a>, Black Prairie<\/a> and Macka Bella<\/a>.<\/p>\n In 2001 David released his second solo recording, \u201cGet Me Out of This Place\u201d, which garnered considerable radio attention and sent his band on several national tours to include stops in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville and Austin\u2019s SXSW Music Festival. This, on the heels of his debut release, \u201cThe Little Things\u201d, which charted on three Northwest Top 20 lists. During one of his U.S. tours David stopped the band in Chicago to record an EP called, \u201cWaiting for Henry\u201d. With three titles in hand, touring eventually led David to relocate to Nashville, Tennessee to record his fourth effort, \u201cEverything to Lose\u201d in 2004.<\/p>\n Helmed by producer Marvin Etzioni (Counting Crows), an A-list group of musicians was convened to record David\u2019s most mature and heart-felt release to date. With members from such acts as Wilco, Bob Dylan, Dixie Chicks, Rod Stewart, Jackson Browne and John Mayer, this recording would again send the band on the road for 10 months of U.S. and European tour dates.<\/p>\n In 2009 David began focusing his time on stage doing charitable fund-raising concerts, one of which included a VIP soiree for the Special Olympics Winter Games Donors. “This was a special time in Boise and our city stepped up in every way to host the games, which created not only a bond among our own community but also a connection with the tens of thousands of visitors from 119 countries around the world.” David and his band were a headlining act for the NBC-televised closing ceremonies, playing to a sold-out audience of 11,000.<\/p>\n In 2010, David was invited to join jazz phenom and Emmy-nominated Curtis Stigers for his annual Christmas benefit concert at the Egyptian Theater. A collaboration preceded the event when David invited Stigers to the recording studio to guest appear on his newest holiday single, “Christmas Day”. This track is now heard annually on Boise radio airwaves between Thanksgiving and Christmas, also available on iTunes. For his latest release, David compiled a 5 song sampler as a way to help raise money for the charities that he supports, titled “Innocent Eyes”.<\/p>\n David Andrews has been a member of the national music scene now for more than 25 years.

<\/a>By the end of 2004 radio play and sales of David\u2019s records reached as far as Japan, Belgium, Italy, Holland, Australia, UK, and Denmark. While touring in support of \u201cEverything to Lose\u201d David found an affinity for Boise, Idaho and eventually relocated there in 2005. Three years later, David released another full-length recording, \u201cLive at the VAC\u201d. While this CD is comprised of all live performance tracks, all of them were previously unrecorded and they were written specifically for the release. For this project David enhanced his band\u2019s soundscape by adding a horn section, a string section and a collage of back-up singers.<\/p>\n![\"WGYC](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.davidandrewsband.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/WGYC-Andrews-16-300x200.jpg?resize=300%2C200\")
