Songwriter Showcase featuring Andy Rosenstein and Tyler Beach

Justin Petertil of Love Raid and Office hosts our regular Songwriter Showcase and Open Mic featuring Andy Rosenstein.

Andy Rosenstein plays keyboard for Bumpus, and writes for and fronts Clip Art. Rosenstein’s songs draw inspiration from the pop music of the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s. He avoids much of the cynicism of contemporary indie music. Instead, Rosenstein writes with an infectious exuberance and a playful naiveté. Even songs about breaking up bounce with optimism.

Tyler Beach writes for and performs in Leaf Bird and numerous jazz projects. He plays and sings in a lanquid, gentle style that conveys a deep longing. As an accomplished jazz and soul guitar player, Beach prefers mellow, cascading melodies that sweep over his folk asthetic. He never rushes or forces an idea; Beach’s music sips and savours.
