It don’t mean a thang, if it ain’t got that twang…and country music artist Andrew Beam comes by this honestly.
Raised in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina,
Andrew Beam grew up surrounded by the culture that
gave rise to so many great artists, from Don Gibson to
Ronnie Milsap, Charlie Daniels to Randy Travis, from
Chet Atkins all the way up through Eric Church….it must
be something in the hills.
The son of a bluegrass picking preacher, Andrew learned
about roots music at its’ actual roots: bluegrass festivals,
church socials, and front porch get-togethers.
An avid fisherman and serious bowhunter, Clemson
University alum Andrew was serving as a game warden
with the South Carolina Department of Natural
Resources when a mutual friend introduced him to RCA
Victor/Moonwatcher Records producer Joe Taylor.
As a result of this meeting, the two became friends and
musical partners, and Andrew became a full-time writer
and artist.
Says Taylor: “Andrew is the genuine article. Every word
he writes and sings rings true, and every show he does
is a journey to the real heartland of country music.
A rich, iconic American voice; unusual in such a young
artist.”
Cut to present day, where Andrew Beam has built a
strong fanbase from the Southeast to Texas, surrounded himself
with a close group of loyal friends and associates,
assembled an all-star band, and released his
first full length LP in 2021; “Selma by Sundown,” a follow-up EP “Lowcountry” in
2022, and released “The Salt Creek Sessions” acoustic EP in late 2023.
So, welcome to Beam Country….Beam like the whiskey,
Country like the music!
