Self-Portrait: John Andrews

Artwork by Mickey Miles

In our new series, Self-Portrait, we invite our favorite musicians to create an audio depiction of themselves through songs from the past and present.

Whether he’s softly singing from his charming catalog of folky originals, accenting Cut Worms or Woods behind a keyboard, keeping the rhythm on drums with Hand Habits, or hand-painting new characters into his stop-motion animated universe, John Andrews’ genuine originality never wilts. His latest record Cookbook stays in constant rotation around here. We’re honored to have John give us a roundup of some of his most influential musical references; Michael Hurley, Little Wings, Vince Guaraldi, and more.

Find John out on tour playing all over America for the rest of the month!
