As heard on NPR’s “Car Talk”... Singer-songwriter Andrew Kreider brings his poet’s eye and trademark “transatlantic drawl” to his folk-blues driven songs - a soul-satisfying mixture of spiritual musings, love ballads and raised eyebrows at the
Bio / Background
A CD containing a number of fan favorites, with original artwork lovingly laser-printed at home... up to now only distributed at concerts - now available from CD Baby!
Andrew Kreider was born and raised in London, England '" growing up caught between the sounds of the English “folk-baroque” scene and new wave musician poets like Elvis Costello. Throw in the influence of Canadians Joni Mitchell and Bruce Cockburn, then stir in the upheaval of a move Midwestern Indiana in his 20s, and you get the fertile soil for some first-class songwriting with a “transatlantic drawl.”
Today, Kreider splits his time between pastoring a Mennonite church in Elkhart, IN, and writing and performing his music. And while he doesn’t explicitly identify himself as a “Christian artist,” his deep Christian faith lies at the heart of his work.
↓ more ↓Kreider intentionally refers to himself as a "bi-vocational musician" - a poet and pastor who finds joy in addressing the spiritual alongside the remarkable and the banal in everyday life.
The songs on “Sing Something Pretty” were written and recorded in 2003-2004, and showcase Kreider’s musical and lyrical range. At the heart of the album is the humorous “My car won’t go” '" heard in 2005 on NPR’s “Car Talk.” By turns impassioned and playful, he moves from the biting political commentary of “The Man” to the playful pet-love song “Puppy Love,” from the brooding of “The Blade” to the wistful romance of “In the Evening.” While not a “Christian album” (whatever that means any more), a strong thread of Christian faith is woven through the album '" from the opening “Better look out” through the spooky musings of “Why are you looking” to the gospel-tinged “Who is so great,” to the cut-loose rocker “Bless the Lord” which brings the album to an end.
With strong melodies, carefully crafted lyrics and understated playing, Kreider’s songs reward repeated listening.
