Andrew Smith shares warm and nostalgic album “The Garden”

Northeast powerhouse singer/songwriter and artist Andrew Smith has just shared his latest album and it is an irroestiable one. The ten track album called The Garden is full of hope and acceptance while detailing transformative life experiences.

The Garden is described as enchanting musical fables for all ages and that statement could not be more true. Standout single “Wrinkled” details Andrew’s coming out process and a relatable theme many of us understand, living with others during the pandemic and the difficulty that brought. With “Gay Gay Gay Gay Gay”, Andrew discusses his religious upbringing and his journey of self acceptance, penning a letter of support for others navigating difficult situations while growing up. The title track “The Garden” is a celebratory tune all about the support system who continues to inspire him every day. All in all, the album is a remarkable journey of self exploration as well as a unique sonic offering. Genre-bending The Garden impresses with folk-laced sonics, pop hooks and a soulful delivery.
