Andrew O’Day

An open hand reaching into your soul and holding your heart may best describe the way Andrew has spliced broken words of emotion. The lyrical content of his original writings could easily be listened to through a mono-tone metal box, hanging off the side of the driver’s door window.

In the ear to eye experience, you will first be drawn in by the un-orthodox style by which Andrew handles his guitar.  This is not on purpose.  When Andrew was a young child, his older brother introduced him to the acoustic guitar, positioning it as any right-hander would while showing him how to hold it.  Andrew, a natural lefty, just flipped the guitar around and began to explore his musicality without any formal instruction. This can only be a testament to the strong musical family lineage, passed down from generation to generation.  So, in accordance with Darwin’s theory of survival, he has made it.  His audience will be enticed by his versatility— soulful constructions of old R&B sounds that some may not have thought possible by acoustic guitar, fun country cover songs that lure you into a crowd singing chorus…

Today, you’ll find Andrew playing locally in the DMV chasing down wineries, breweries, restaurants, weddings, private & corporate parties, performing with the Legwarmers and exploring other venues that offer him opportunities to unload his soulful sound.
