New CD Walk in Light Released!
Recorded this past September in Chicago, Walk in Light is Andrew White's most ambitious album to date. Featuring a full band comprised of the city's finest session musicians, it introduces dynamic new songs from a broad spectrum of styles. From reggae beats to blues to folk, it displays Andrew's versatility as a guitarist, songwriter and arranger.
Released on Candyrat Records, this is Andrew's second album with this innovative Milwaukee-based label. Traces of Silver, a solo acoustic album featuring songs and instrumentals, was recorded at the Silver Glen Resort by Candyrat founder Rob Poland in Nova Scotia and released worldwide in 2007.
"Andrew is a great story teller. He draws you into his music with lyrics that are both meaningful and at times, deeply personal. In Walk in Light, you walk in Andrew's shoes for a moment and come out on the other side better for it."-Rob Poland, Candyrat Records
All tracks for Traces of Silver and Walk in Light were filmed live and can be seen on the Candyrat YouTube ChannelAbout Andrew ...
Andrew started his career busking on the streets of Auckland, New Zealand, but soon began his meteoric rise. In 1984, he released his first album, Conversations, and was immediately signed by the new-age label Narada Records in the US. Narada Records then released Islands, an instrumental collaboration with Grammy-nominated artist David Arkenstone, which reached the top 30 on the US Billboard Charts.
Following a live broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland, he was signed by UK label Linn Records and recorded Guitarra Celtica, a stunning instrumental album featuring 16 hauntingly beautiful original tracks. This was quickly followed with Pray For Rain, Andrew's first vocal album released on the independent Scottish label Vertical Records.
In January of 2005, he released Andrew White - Live, recorded by CBC Radio Canada, broadcast to over 2-million people, and was nominated for a Canadian East Coast Music Award.
Worldwide, over 1-million albums - including Andrew's own compositions - have been sold.
Andrew's finger-style guitar work is technically brilliant yet possesses a highly melodic structure. He is one of the few who combines international class guitar playing with skilfully crafted and beautiful songs. A humble and gifted musician, Andrew's music will take you on a spiritual journey over the mountains of his soul and rivers through it.
"White's style is a unique, soullful mix, and his guitar playing is extraordinary."RAMBLES ART MAGAZINE, U.K.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
My Dear Andrew White, I want you to know that your music and your songs are my passion. I am addicted to Andrew White. There is something that pulls me towards them. Keep it up Andrew White. Do PS:Follow Me Twitter at http://twitter.com/iaent
