About Me |
|
| Hi, I'm Andrew Bayuk and welcome to my official MySpace spot. My all-original music is mostly described as a funky blend of folk-rock that packs a punch. Currently recording my second full length CD, I'm a singer/songwriter committed to creating and performing captivating and relevant folk-rock music, providing a soundtrack for modern daily life, and the political and social issues of our day.
Heavily influenced by The Beatles, John and Yoko, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and the Grateful Dead, my music has an acoustic folk backbone with an electric rock overlay and is laced with accompanying and background harmony vocals. Featured on television and radio, my music is finding its way to the mainstream audience. My recent appearance on the TV entertainment show, Deco Drive. Add to My Profile In addition to my more conventional songs about life and love, I'm determined to provide songs for people who still care about PEACE, our less fortunate fellow citizens, are fed up with the unfettering of big business at the expense of the public, are tired of having our environment compromised so the rich can get richer, are tired of being lied to and led into an illegal war for oil and profit, and still have the dream of a solid decent America that is strong at home and respected around the world. Seems like we're so far from that now, but I am ever the hopeful one, and we all need to do our part to get some change. Florida Acoustic Showcase - Andrew Bayuk - THINK PEACE Unplugged My song "Smokescreen" is about the Iraq War. The electric version of "Save the USA" is a call for our representatives to do the job that they've been elected for, and cut the crap already! And, "Heroes of a Broken War" honors the troops while still admonishing the Iraq War. These can be heard HERE . Please feel free to comment on all these songs, both here and there, I'd love to hear your thoughts, whether you like them or not. My current live show is composed of two 45 minute sets of all original material. Contact me to book me for gigs, festivals, house parties and private events. In addition to sending me a message through MySpace, you can contact me directly for bookings HERE . What ever happened to PEACE, LOVE and UNDERSTANDING?? It's still here, and its up to US to bring it back into the mainstream: THE DEPARTMENT OF PEACE! Is it possible?? You DECIDE: You can JOIN MY MAILING LIST HERE and stay apprised of my comings and goings... Three of my songs, "Footprints in the Snow" "Too Good To Be True" and "Lonely With You" were 1st place winners of the American Idol Underground Folk Contest, you can see this HERE and HERE and HERE . My new CD, Mixed Messages, is NOW available: You can check out my Soncibids Electronic Press Kit HERE Andrew has performed at the following venues: SOUTH FLORIDA: The Atmosphere Lounge, Java D'Lites, The Funky Buddha Lounge, Central Pub, Rosey Baby, Kevro Art Bar, The Wallflower Gallery, Mixx Java Lounge, Nakava, Club Maya, The Coffee District, Rumor Has It, Tobacco Road, Pivot Studios CONNECTICUT: Southern Connecticut State University, The Twilight Zone, The Cape Codder, Clancy's, H.

I've created and maintain one of the original, largest and most comprehensive ancient Egypt websites on the Internet at: http://guardians.net Here you can explore the pyramids, tombs, temples of Egypt and much more. The song, "Weighing of the Heart" is based on a scene from ancient Egyptian scrolls which depict one of the older scenes of the judgment after death ever recorded. The live acoustic version of this song debuted on my "Mixed Messages" CD. My official website is at: http://andrewsongs.com This video is from last year, but the need still remains.
