Baritone Andrew Garland is hailed as a performer whose artistry is a perfect combination between "baritone of strength and vocal opulence" (Opera News) and "cosmic energy and suavity" (Opera News). He is widely recognized as a leader in recital work with dozens of performances around the country including Carnegie Hall with pianist Warren Jones and programs of modern American songs all over the United States and in Canada. Jones, Marilyn Horne, Steven Blier, many American composers, and major music publications all endorse him as a highly communicative singer leading the way for the song recital through the 21st Century.
