Andrew Kitzman approached me the first week my coffee house was open. He inquired about our needs in the area of entertainment and impressed upon me his ability to meet those needs.
This amazing young man has proven to be an outstanding performer. Andrew's talent in writing and composing original music is very impressive. He has a true feel for the expectations of his audiences and delivers the style of music that best suits them. IT becomes obvious after only a short time just how important music is to Andrew. Because of this he exhibits the professionalism of a mature, seasoned performer.
It has been a pleasure to have Andrew perform in our coffee house and we hope his talents take him far in life.
Sincerely,
Jeanie Baringer

Refreshingly upbeat, with an obvious love for his craft, Andrew Kitzman is a talented young singer/songwriter. His unified guitar and vocal work gravitates toward the contemporary and complex style of, say, John Mayer or Dave Matthews. Andrew's impressive initiative, in addition to having prepared an evening's worth of fine musical performance, includes having generated and distributed his own business and promotional materials. Currently, Andrew is his own booking agent too. A rare breed, with a CD of original songs in production, Andrew Kitzman has developed a devoted following due to the integrity of his music and a warm, outgoing personality. All this, while still in high school.

Bio
Hi, my name is Andrew and I have been writing music for 5 years now. I just moved to Seattle because I've finally made the choice to persue my music career.
I have always been interested in music. Everyone in my family played music, except my mom :), and I wanted to be able to sit in and play with my dad, brothers and sister.
I am the youngest of four kids so I had a chance to listen to alot of different music from my older siblings. From Tori Amos, to Metallica, to John Prine, and Ani Difranco.
When I decided to play guitar it was my dad who first sat me down and helped me through that first wall (How the hell do you get your fingers to do that?!?) and since then I’ve been lucky enough to sit in with dozens of patient and amazing teachers and it's only recently that I've felt comfortable enough to get out there and play MY songs!
It's hard to describe your own work...but I think my songs pull strong influences from Dave Matthews, and Ani Difranco. I use alot of Major 7ths and alot of intense rhythms to make up for my lack of a drummer. I try to write about anything that I see happening around me. I used to only see things as the people I loved...so that’s what I wrote about. But now as I look around me in this beautiful city I have been writing more about people, politics, society, and the big question.
Check out the songs, drop me an e-mail at at- andrew@AndrewKitzman.com
Thanks for your time...enjoy the music!
