Blood Moon (2023)
Ghost stories, murder ballads, fiddle tunes and train songs from the tunnels of East Vancouver. Features a 5-string fiddle, a baritone violin string section and the legendary Stroh Violin (a rare, antiquated instrument with a resonator and a phonograph horn). Includes a complete songbook (chords & lyrics to all tracks), handwritten with original artwork by Fraea the Banshee.
“Incredible album of dark modern day folk songs…includes some of the eeriest fiddle playing around.” – Americana Roots UK
“One expects Jeff Andrew to inhabit some dark underground of folk music, singing serious songs about vagabonds, police abuse of power, abandoned buildings, Wobblies, and street punks wrongly accused of murder.” – Georgia Straight
Hobo Postcards (2011)
Andrew's first full-band album, mixing folk, punk, Celtic and old jazz. The cabin and the cathedral. Also features the Stroh Violin.
“A backroads troubadour with a few things to say by way of viscera, nerve and hard experience…basically a raunchy Bob Dylan with blood in his teeth.” – FAME Reviews
“Think The Pogues at their most engaging, singing early Tom Waits.” – Leicester Bangs
“A collection of travel tunes that features a ramshackle concoction of acoustic guitars, violin, trumpet and the occasional burst of gang vocals…sentiment that seems to spring directly from the heart of a weary, well-traveled musician who has come to a crossroads.” – Penguin Eggs Magazine
Vagabonds & Wastrels (2009)
Travel songs for orphans, freaks, hobos and ghosts. Rusty gates, muted horns, resonators, accordions and voices, held down with percussive acoustic guitar and the mad bowing of a six-fingered classical bassist.
“A two-sided record on a one-sided disc, the album begins with familiar folk fare: love, drunks, killers and working-class heroes, before descending into an underworld of faeries, ghosts and madness.” – BC Musician Magazine
“A wordsmith and poet…Andrew has harnessed his muse on hobos, heartsick pilgrims and the demons left on the highway.” – Americana UK
“A complex album, one that not only tips its hat to Tom Waits and Utah Phillips but also asks them to sit down for a while.” – Edmonton Vue Weekly
MUSIC
An electrified patchwork of folk, rock and post-punk, with echoes of old-time Americana and 80s horror movie soundtracks. Also available on vinyl.
"Darkly-laced guitars rattle like bags of bones, while Andrew's voice glides across cracked hardwood as a ghost does in an attic space. Blood Moon traces through some of horror's most prolific figures, from werewolves to Jack The Ripper. The fusion of genres provides a cinematic veneer that will send goosebumps down your spine."- B-Sides And Badlands
"The perfect balance between rock ballad and dark fairy tale...Blood Moon is a saga about the dark side of the world, about nature and about every individual on planet Earth." - Indie Boulevard
"A bold symphony basking in moonlit mystique."
