Bruce, MS everyman Andrew Bryant has been brewing his own flavor of rock music for well over a decade, often seeping his songs in his folk-appropriate Sunday-morning-worship surroundings. Though his roots are deep in Mississippi soil, his branches reach far into the soul of Memphis, as writer (and my ex-next door neighbor) Mark Jordan writes in defense of ranking 2009's Galilee as Memphis' #2 record for The Commercial Appeal.

I’ll offer just a few short words for today; just an update on what’s going on around here. I’m in the middle of recording the next record, which is due out God knows when. It’s taking me a while to complete, but it’s going really well, and I hope to have a song or two done soon, and will look forward to sharing them with you guys.

I’ve also been writing a lot of short stories and poems, and am working with some good friends of mine to release them in chapbook form. So also be on the lookout for that.

There are more shows to come, too. I’m working on booking a few things right now, so keep checking back every now and again for the all the details. Also, if you haven’t already, friend me on Facebook and/or Myspace if you want to keep up to date on shows and what not a little closer.

Thanks for stopping by, and hang in there.

Here’s what they had to say about the interview:

“Andrew Bryant phones it in from Pittsboro, MS. Our first call to the Magnolia State. With a rich, deep voice recalling Jackson C. Frank with a Southern accent, Andrew cinematically charts the back roads of Mississippi rural boredom, marginal living, and the eventual chains of responsible adulthood. Raised on the tension between his parents’ Hank Williams and mail-order punk rock, he eventually returned to his country roots (you can’t run, can you?) and hasn’t looked back, releasing six albums in five years, with at least another in the can. If you like Lucero, you’ll love Andrew Bryant; and if love Lucero, well this guy’s married, so you’ll just have to cool it.”

- Nadav, KDVS 08/13/2009

Andrew Bryant’s “Galilee” makes me a believer:

“These tracks are almost insights into the life of a man finding the dark part of himself and digging through the blood and guts of it all…I picture the journey at mid-point by looking at the album cover…you know there is beauty, but there is just enough to get your hands dirty…”
