John McAndrew
John McAndrew is a storyteller. If you call him a piano player - you'd be absolutely correct - in part. If you call him a singer that'd be right on target, too. John is a piano player. He's a singer. And, to complete the picture - throw in songwriter. He draws pictures on water like an ancient calligrapher. The lyrics float up and into your musical psyche. His music is revealing. It lays bare the soul. It speaks to a time that was and to what might be.

For many years he has been in constant demand as a lecturer and speaker in North America and Europe.
