Here is part two of “Questions” w/ Andrew Belle. Enjoy the interview and be sure to visit the links at the bottom to learn more about Andrew and to find out where you can catch him on the Ten Out of Tenn Christmas Tour starting later this month!
StSL – You’ve become a member of the Ten Out of Tenn community and tour this year. What does that opportunity mean to you?
AB – It is such an honor. I saw the tour last august when they came through Chicago and the whole time I was thinking ‘ok, how can I possibly find a way to be a part of this thing’. And a year later I was so flattered when they asked me to be a part of the fall tour. I was incredibly excited and humbled to go on the road with such amazing talent – especially being the new guy in town. I was also just asked to be a part of the Christmas tour Nov. 27-Dec.13 – i can’t wait!
StSL – Obviously the life of an independent artist looks very different these days than it did even just a few years ago. What has your experience been like in that world so far?
AB – Being an independent artist can definitely be challenging at times but with the increasingly huge role the internet is playing with marketing and distribution as well as the tv/film world starting to open up a lot more – there are tons of ways to make a splash in the scene without the help of a major.
StSL – Let’s step away from music for a second. What’s your favorite movie quote?
AB – “If you’re not first – you’re last.” (Talladega Nights)
StSL – A stranger comes up to you and says, “Play me the best song ever written.” What do you play?
AB – ‘Please Please Please let me get what I want’ – The Smiths
StSL – In addition to your upcoming album, “The Ladder”, what are you focusing on most right now and what can we expect in the near future from Andrew Belle?
AB – We’ve been working on this record for almost a year now – it’s hard to believe its just about to time release it and start promoting. Hm, you can definitely expect a lot of touring in the coming months and maybe even an EP in the spring/summer. Ive still got songs that didn’t make it onto ‘The Ladder’ so maybe ill do something with those.
