Great Pig Show

Down vibe, pre Oscar Hollywood Blvd ghost town. Love a gig like this. Played all new songs, great response, hushed room. Wish you were there. Thinking about doing some live concert footage from there in April. I’m taking requests. What do you think?

Thanks for coming back to my site. Andrew

Welcome

Welcome to the new site!  This is now the main place I’ll be — so if you want the latest of everything, come here — write on the wall to start. Listen to music of course, view videos, find out where I’ll be playing,  and more.  I’m very excited to offer my catalog in a more expanded way. You’ll find a free Music Player, and five albums available now for download in the Music Store with a few more to be added in the coming months. I’ll be adding at least one new song each month to the ever expanding library. It is really great to have a home for my songs after all this time spent writing and recording them. Enjoy.

I am really excited about plans for this site to become a hub of connection for fans of my music and eventually as a collaborative spot to create. I’m looking forward to getting SongShare up and running in the next few months as a place to witness and contribute to new songs in progress, people adding parts to existing songs, working together in a spirit of collaboration and community support. I encourage you to share your songs, poems and stories with the community.

I’d also like to give special thanks to Andree Duggan for creating this site with me. Andree is an amazing woman who is an incredible artist/channeler who I encourage you to get to know. She will be helping me expand the site and I am really grateful for her support and guidance. Also thanks to my lovely wife Christy and daughter Liv for their patience and support while I’ve been busy lifting this dream of mine to it’s feet.

Lizard Lounge Review

“Well, I usually like to give a special mention to one performer weekly who is tried and true at our humble Monday Night Show, but this week I can not ignore the performance of one very amazing singer/songwriter.  Mr. Andrew Hyra, all the way from the left coast of California, guided in our direction by our very own and very faithful Tony Lovell was absolutely stunning. Backing up his songs with solid guitar chops and a patient delivery, Andrew uses the range of his voice that would be considered high tenor to capture the listener in each passing lyric.  His voice, powerful enough to cut through the crowd with out the assistance of the mic from time to time, was an undeniable weapon against anyone who was not paying attention.  At the beginning of his songs the room was a little chatty.  By the end of the songs all you heard was Andrew’s last chord.  Nice work sir!  Thank you Andrew Hyra for making the Lizard Lounge Open Mic Challenge a stop on your trip!” Lizard Lounge Open Mic Newsletter!
