Antonio Andrade

Antonio Andrade is a recording artist who released his ninth album, the all-cover Here We Go!, in March
2025 on Lifeshakes Recordings. He is a songwriter who has co-written with Louisa Branscomb and
Freebo and earned an honorable mention in the 2023 Mid-Atlantic Song Contest for “You Don’t Until
You Do.” He is a performer with more than 45 years’ experience who has appeared on the juried
showcases at both SERFA and SWRFA, whom the Central Pennsylvania Music Awards honored as "Best
Male Solo Artist" for 2021. At his very core, however, Antonio Andrade is an entertainer, winning
audiences with his passion and enthusiasm in spirited performances of what he calls “rockin’ folk.”
Since retiring from his day job in 2014, Andrade has increased his recording and performing Lucky in
Love, released in May 2020, reached #34 on the Folk Alliance International Chart. His 2011 interpretation
of the Talking Heads’ “This Must Be the Place,” was used in the movie of the same name. Singing,
playing, and writing these songs is Andrade’s reward. “Singing and playing, presenting songs, and
connecting with an audience are more fun than anything else I can imagine,” he explains.
