Testimonials |
"Andrew
Garland has a great
voice, but even more
importantly, he is a
great storyteller. He
has the remarkable
ability to inhabit a
song, become the
character and pull us
in. He also has
tremendous musical
chops. His attention to
detail; the handling of
dynamics, phrasing and
duration is masterful.
He is an asset to the
world of song."

"Andrew
Garland gave a marvelous rendering
of my work A HEARTLAND PORTRAIT.
His tone was sure and strong and he
projected a wonderful air of confidence
with fine attention to phrasing and
shaping the work. He captured
both the plaintive simplicity as well
as the everyday tragedy that comes
from the words through the music.
Andrew and Donna are both real champions!
They had the audience eating out of
their hand." -
Stephen Paulus |
| "Andy Garland is the kind of musical
champion song composers dream of finding:
a true song stylist who is passionate,
creative, quick, inquisitive and possesses
a beautiful lyric baritone." -
Jake Heggie |
| Andrew Garland is a wonderful young
singer.
His beautiful voice and deep intelligence
result in riveting performances. It's
been a pleasure to work with him.
- Lori Laitman |
| "Recently I had the pleasure of performing
some of my songs with him, and I remain
deeply impressed with the power of
his performance. I have performed
these same songs with several professional
baritones of stature, and none has
brought more depth of musical understanding
than did Andrew Garland. Quite apart
from the special beauty of his voice
is his instinctive feeling for the
musical line. He pulls the listener
irresistibly into the music. In my
judgment, he is a rare talent, and
I expect him to enjoy an important
career, in time."
