Album Notes

Andrew Hunter & The Gatherers are a high energy three-piece alt/rock band based in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Originally from the small town of Florenceville NB, over the last decade Andrew split his time between living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on the island of Maui, and the shores of Nova Scotia. In 05 the call of the Maritimes was too much … the move was made,soon after there was a solo record, a tour and a band formed. The Gatherers, Mat Budreski on drums and backing vocals and new edition Mike Barrett on bass bring a refined sound to the band. With driving rhythms, solid vocal harmonies and thick guitar tones the sound is full, the live show is full on. The new self-titled EP will be released spring 2009. One of the top up and coming acts on the east coast, this hard-working trio have been pounding the pavement, criss-crossing the country and slowly but surely, making waves. A mixed bag of influences, people and locations have led to the highly anticipated follow up to 07’s Victory at Sea and 2006’s The Sunday sessions. Recent accolades include: Regional winner of the Canadian RadioStar National Songwriting Competition along with being selected as showcase artists at NSMW, ECMA and CMW 2009.
