André recalls songs of his favourite singer-songwriters who inspired him to become a musician. He relives his journey from the 60's up to now. Come and experience his versions of songs by Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Cat Stevens, Paul Simon and Peter Sarstedt - including his own works.
His new album introduces a new beginning in his career. As songwriter, arranger and producer, he upped his game. "ALL I REALLY WANT" is a listener-friendly album with energetic Folk-Rock songs (Going Down & Ready to Go), witty Country (All I Really Want), Afrikaans Rock-Ballad (Al Moet Ek Soms), up-tempo finger-picking (Blommekind), Bluesy vibe (Ex-lover), powerful ballads like Who Will Restore and Jetset Babe.
The song-arrangements are minimalistic, so is the cover design (portrait sketch by André). The focus of his performance at The Drama Factory will be on his new album All I Really Want.
