Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Fiddle, Accordion.ABOUT
Songcrafter and front man. I am very serious and committed. I have written almost 450 songs we can chose from....with more on the way. I would like to find creative musicians who can come up with interesting arrangements and are willing to collaborate. I have access to ample practice space and a small recording studio. I have released six Albums, "Andrew Neil Live at Para Coffee", "Code Purple - Andrew Neil", "Merry Go Round", "Freak" (Submitted for 63rd Grammy Consideration by a member of the Recording Academy), "Sunny Side" and "Alien" (the latter 5 all produced by Andy Waldeck). I recently formed a Band called "Code Purple" and we recorded our Band's debut album which will be released in December-January. We released one Single "I Like" in August 2023. I have been included on Rankers "Best Outsider Music Artists" list (https://www.ranker.com/list/outsider-music-bands-and-musicians/reference) as well as Rankers "Best Lo-Fi Music Artists" list. I am looking to do something different and uncompromising.
