BIOGRAPHY
“My music must have a catchy feel but be a reflection of who I am, which is why I write and record songs that are inspired by real life experiences. I am exposing my heart and soul. I think people respond to sincere music that they can relate to. I am able to just be myself on these songs, making something I love, and letting people get to know me better. I just give it my all and I love seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces and knowing that I’m making them happy.”
Andrew Dean and The Farm Machine has taken home awards for Entertainer of the Year, Band of the Year, Music Video and Song of the Year at International Singer Songwriter Association's annual convention in Atlanta; Male Vocalist for the Academy of Western Artists and The Who's Hoo in Country Music, Humanitarian of the Year, and World Songwriting Award for Traditional Country songs.
His Recorded Album projects spanning two decades: TROPTASTIC, WOW:Way Out West, Not My First Rodeo, Faith Hope Love, Looking Ahead, Wanted, Bridges, Wide Open Dreams, A New Horizon, and The Harvest have all received numerous accolades and awards. These can be purchased, downloaded, or streamed on all music platforms, social media websites, and in video format at YouTube.
Billed as the current "hardest working man in music", Andrew performs over 200 concerts each year to audiences all over North America, as a Tribute to Veterans, Gospel concerts, Country concerts, private and corporate functions, and includes his own stylized songs with traditional fan-favorites from across the decades.
Andrew has crisscrossed the genre spectrum in his lifetime of performing and writing music. When just a toddler, the babysitter would allow Andrew to listen to Beatles records based on his good behavior. Mom Linda, Organist and Director of music, took him under her wing as he joined the church choir, later playing sousaphone in school band. Andrew went on to front several rock bands in his early 20's, then country came along tugging at his heartstrings about the time he heard George Jones, Johnny Cash, Vince Gill, and Travis Tritt.
Andrew's own label, NITE*SKY Records and Promotions International, helps budding songwriters and artists' music off-the-ground and into the hands of Radio Professionals across the globe. You'll find links to the label, music, videos, tour dates, booking contacts, social media, and more at Andrew's official website www.AndrewDean.US and www.AndrewDeanMusic.com
