ANDREW KENNEDY
Bio

Andrew Kennedy is a Brisbane singer/songwriter. 2008 saw Kennedy release his sophomore EP Running Stumbling Bumbling Bursting followed by a national solo tour through Sydney, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and his home town Brisbane. Reviews for the record were glowing, and first single Suicide Tuesday was a finalist in the 2008 Qsong songwriting competition.

“…six tracks of poetry. His lyrics are outstanding – honest and beautiful”
Bianca Martin: Tsunami Magazine

“…a musical delight, there’s a certain Jeff Buckley-esque sound to it.”
Robert Dunstan, Rip It Up Magazine.

"Unlike your Murrays and Butlers, [Andrew] can tell his elbow from his funny bone"
Jeff Apter, Sydney Morning Herald

Riding on a wave of momentum, Kennedy is currently back in the studio working on a new record due for release early next year. The new record will focus on lyrical storytelling as established in Running Stumbling Bumbling Bursting, but will shine the spotlight a little more brightly on Andrew’s expressive guitar work. Adding another feather to the cap, Kennedy has devoted considerable energy to the development of his own recording facility Broken Toy Productions. With several Brisbane artists already through the doors, Andrew is fast developing a reputation for pulling sweet sounds in the studio. Keep an ear out for Brisbane artist Alan Boyle’s new EP Oxygen, recorded and produced at Broken Toy Productions by Andrew. Alan was a 2009 Qsong nominee was the winner of the 2009 Billy Thorpe Scholarship.
