Andy Falco

Andy Falco is a guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer, and one-fifth of the GRAMMY award-winning bluegrass quintet, TheInfamous Stringdusters. As a kid, Andy’s brother was the primary influence and inspiration to play guitar and jam. And in a household where listening to the likes of the Beatles, Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers, it’s certainly no surprise that the direction his own music took very much fell into the worldof the blues, Americana and ultimately bluegrass. “Being grounded from the road due to the pandemic, I’ve uncovered time to truly dive into songwriting in a way I never had before,” shared Falco. “It was a very emotional time (for me), and it led me to ask myself a lot of questions internally like ‘why am I writing this song,’ what am I really trying to say?’ I became only interested in recording songs that I felt a deep personal connection to, and the result was this album. The Will of the Way is Andy’s first solo album to be released in15 years. It features musicians from Long Island including his brother Patrick (on bass) and others from the local scene including Jon Preddice and Chris Marshak. The album alsofeatures a great Massachusetts-based singer, Erica Leigh, aswell as Dave Butler (Guster), Damian Calcagne, Cody Kilby (The Travelin’ McCourys), Joe Russo on drums on a few songs, and Joss Stone on one track. Andy lives in Suffolk County, Long Island, New York where heproduces, engineers and mixes albums in his studio betweentours.
