Andrew Mann 2010 Biog
Andrew Mann is an extraordinary and gifted Irish singer and writer who has been performing professionally around Ireland and Europe for the last six years. After writing literally hundreds of songs over the last ten years he has been lucky enough to perform nationwide tours in Ireland, Austria, France and Spain and has also had the pleasure of rubbing shoulders with New York’s industry glitterati, doing many show case gigs in the big apple.
He has earned a name for himself on the Irish music scene as someone with a powerful and soulful voice and armed with an intense magnetic set that never disappoints. After trips back and forth to London to play support slots for the new up and comings, he says his finest moment was singing in Oxford Streets “100 Club” and Soho’s “Ronnie Scotts”.
Propelled by the joy and satisfaction of creating and performing music Andrew started honing in on the songs he had written over the last few years that meant the most to him.
Tentatively he started to independently record his debut album “Hidden In Plain Sight” during 2008 and finishing it late 2009. Production has been overseen by Larry Hogan and Mark Reddy.
Larry has worked with the likes of Rick Danko (from The Band), Van Morrison, Shane McGowan, The Devlins and Kila cutting his teeth in the production end of the business.
Over the last six years Andrew has built up a huge fan base in Ireland and has made a legion of contacts and friends within the Irish and international music scene.
2010 is set to be a big year for Andrew Mann.
Armed with his debut Album filled with belting, heartfelt and deeply personal acoustic and rock songs and an obvious fire in his belly, Andrew Mann is ready to hit the road and share his songs of Irish soul with the world.
Dublin based songwriter Andrew Mann always performs a well-received set of memorable, hook-laden numbers. One song in particular, ‘These Days ’ stood out above the rest and with his rock star looks and a brilliant voice, Mann looks set for greater things. (Colm O’ Hare – Hotpress Magazine)
