Andrew Vladeck

Andrew’s shows were Editors Picks in both the Boston Phoenix and the Boston Globe!

New York native Andrew Vladeck makes beautiful music with his banjo, Dylan-esque voice, and phrases loaded with lyrics, especially the title track of his new record, “The Wheel.’’ The indie/folk alt-rocker slows things down a bit on the delicious tune, “Picking Apples in Orange Country.’’ Fascinated with the relationship between nature and New York City, the songwriter is a former Urban Park Ranger.

Somewhere between Tom Waits, Dire Straits, and Jonathan Richman, there’s Andrew Vladeck. Best known for his backup banjo work in the Honey Brothers, a troublingly wacky but seriously good folk-rock outfit.

Good news on the summertime music front: The Wheel rolls out today!    Read all about it on the music page - listen too!

I can’t wait to catch up with you on the road.  Please tell your friends near and far.  All shows are on sale today.  I’d love to see you.

Til soon!

There’s just so many musical things going on in my life it is hard to keep track!   This super fun record just came out today (available everywhere online).   I liked the way Snobmusic put it: “Sometimes you can just hear the first few notes of a record and say “I will be listening to that all summer long”.  I had one of those moments when I hit play on Demonstration, the forthcoming EP (out June 16th) from New York fiver-piece The Honey Brothers.“

We recorded it over a week in midst of a New York winter - but still warm from our tour of Australia.   Producer Brad Albetta did a gorgeous job with our musicality and insanity.   And his studio had the most AMAZING… more »

Cherry blossoms swept up in a dust devil - I walk through a pink tornado and voila: it’s springtime for Brooklyn.  A Mockingbird on an antennae above Fulton Street  confuses and delights with the Mr. Softee song.  Huh, nature’s got talent.   My neighbor’s dog Vu (for Velvet Underground) walks me down the street as cups of coffee walk art students up.

I just got hold of my new record: “The Wheel.“  Blessed springtime: newness, fresh air - progress in various forms, intoxicating and inescapable.  With thanks to my artist friends, musical and visual, and my mates at End Up Records. 

Dates are filling in for the Record Release tour, where I hope to see you.   My record is available 6/6.  The hometown release headlines the Mercury Lounge 7/7.  Read all about it at this website.

And summer shapes up with fun festival gigs - big ones,… more »
