Andy is New Folk Winner at Kerrville Folk Festival

Yes I write pretty much everything on this site.
Yes I wrote the title to this post.
Yes that means I talked about myself in the 3rd person.
It sounds more official.
I went to Kerrville, TX last weekend to participate in the New Folk Competition at the Kerrville Folk Festival. This festival has a 39 year history of celebrating songwriters and I was honored to be part of a competition that has included such artists in the past as Lyle Lovett, John Gorka, Pierce Pettis, David Wilcox, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Robert Earl Keen and Nanci Griffith.
Thanks to the many bribes I gave the judges before my performance, I was named one of the winners out of the 32 finalists performing. I am not exactly sure what that means, but I was hoping it meant that I would win a brand new tour bus. Apparently that isn't the case. At any rate, it was an amazing experience where I got to make new friends with songwriters across the country (and a few that live within a couple of miles from me here in Nashville). I hope to be back next year. I also hope it is abnormally cold there next summer.
