Andrew Calhoun |
 |

"Calhoun is a master at story songs, finely crafted works that swiftly and economically capture a moment or express an emotion. Like the best novelists, he is able to assume different personas and see the world through other peoples' eyes." - June Sawyers, Chicago Tribune
"He's blessed with a resonant baritone, crystalline fingerpicking, and a writer's ear." - The Oregonian
"His songs are majestic in their imagery and endlessly challenging in their themes." - St. Paul Pioneer Press-Dispatch
"Andrew Calhoun tells the truth. To my knowledge, there is no better songwriter alive." - Dave Carter
Andrew Calhoun was born in New Haven, CT, in 1957. He grew up in New Jersey and the Chicago area where he again dwells. Calhoun founded Waterbug in 1992. |

Hope

“Thoughtful and compelling.
Calhoun's use of traditional folk music enhances his unbelievably powerful imagery.”
- Performing Songwriter
“I have always placed Andrew's songs among the most uplifting music I know.
He writes in the tradition of songwriters like Pierce Pettis and Leonard Cohen
and poets like Emily Dickinson and Edna St. Vincent Millay whose sense of humor
is underrated because their suffering and faith are so great. The characters
in Andrew's... More>>> |

Snakes and lizards cling to life
