Live Music by Andrew Duhon

There’s a mystical allure to the road. Innately literal and figurative it is both the blacktop and the connective tissue between people places and cultures. The opportunity to venture beyond what’s known and comfortable into what’s possible. A rugged romanticism of packing up a standard issue Chevy Express tour van with instruments scuffed amps overflowing merch boxes and a trio of musicians setting sail to share Duhon's songs with anyone who will listen. For a young Andrew Duhon the road was the connection from “No Man’s Land” to the “Promised Land.” A chance to truly connect with former strangers through song. To feel equal kinship with the good ol’ boys in Beaumont TX and the hippies and artists in Bellingham WA. But with that comes a weight. Duhon has a knack for telling the kind of stories that clearly cost the writer something to tell the kind of honesty that feels noble and never half hearted. Entertaining? Sure but when a song written by a stranger heals you even in the smallest way that's a connection beyond entertainment and that is the journey Andrew Duhon sets out on from his home in Louisiana. His songs are about recognizing our story as much as they are about telling his and his coast to coast pursuits have given him a clearer view of the American Landscape than most are privy to.
