Andrew James O’Brien, the once-kinda-of-Corner Brook now based in St. John’s singer/songwriter has been nominated for an East Coast Music Award! Congrats!
The East Coast Music Association announced their 2012 award nominated earlier today, with Andrew James O’Brien nominated for Pop Recording of the Year for his album Songs for Searchers.
While not from Corner Brook, Andrew James O’Brien spent a lot of time playing in the local music scene. While Andrew was on tour in Ontario in the fall he met up with Mitch Fillion, the creator of Southern Souls, to record a video for a new song. Recorded live in a back alley in Toronto, check out the video for All I Can Say below.
Picking up the pace for the fifth track on the CornerBrooker.com Summer Mix Tape, Andrew James O’Brien and The Searchers have been building a following across the province, and for good reason. The band’s fun rocking sound make them a comfortable fit on any playlist.
I met with Andrew James O’Brien on Friday past, while he was in town to play a show at The Bar Room. It was a grey, drizzling morning with the promise of warmth when we sat down for breakfast. We chatted about his new record, Songs For Searchers, song writing, criticism and finding happiness through loving what you do – our own version of life, the universe and everything.
