A.A. Kutt

Andrew Kutt’s lifelong love and passion for music began as a young child, listening to his older brother Peter play classical greats on the piano. Andrew picked up his first musical instrument at age 15 – a 4-string banjo – and shortly thereafter bought a Yamaha guitar with money he saved from working his first job at Joe’s Market. Andrew began teaching himself the guitar, learning his favorite songs from the radio and quickly began composing some of his own. 

Many years and hundreds of songs later, Andrew has refined a style of songwriting that is Americana in flavor, but also echoes the popular songs his father taught him and the rock traditions he grew to love as a boy. Messages of love, peace, healing and redemption extend throughout Andrew’s music, poetry and other writings. Andrew recently completed two brand new CDs – Rock, Love, Peace – with producer Phillip Stevenson and Earth Songs – a collection of original songs for children. Andrew performs solo as well as shows with his band Purple Martin.

Music and songwriting continue to be an amazingly fulfilling adventure for Andrew, whose ideas and inspirations seem to come faster and more frequently than ever. A true believer in the power of music, Andrew says, “Free our minds and we can dream a whole new world.” Andrew continues to share his art and message with the world; giving voice to songs that seem to have a soul of their own, and bringing hope and inspiring the world one note at a time.
