Here We Go!, the ninth full length release from Pennsylvanian Antonio Andrade, finally shares the covers that got moved to the back burner as he recorded and released Jingle All The Way (2021 - holiday classics) and My Reward (2023 - all original songs). Despite the success of his songwriting, Andrade has always displayed a gift for interpreting other people’s songs. He modestly admits that “my ability to re-interpret songs might be a noteworthy skill. My perspective as an entertainer leads me to cover songs in which I find a character that speaks to me. I become that character when I act out the song. I believe the words when I say them.” |

Plus $4 shipping and handling “My Reward” is a fitting title track for Antonio Andrade’s newest release, the Pennsylvanian’s eighth album and fifth full length release since 2014, when he concluded his thirty-eight-year career in human service work. A guitar serves as the narrator, singing “the song is my reward.” Singing, playing, and writing these songs is Andrade’s reward. “It is my purpose these days,” he said. “Having a purpose is my reward in life!” Read John Apice's glowing review of My Reward in Americana Highways. It starts: "With a folk voice as gruff as Jon Dee Graham & Dave Van Ronk, Antonio Andrade has a sincere delivery that’s a bit retro & still sings of Vietnam & other past indulgences with a 60s folky element. If he wasn’t effective & striking in this entertaining manner, he’d be a novelty. But he isn’t. He channels the seriousness of the original folk artists through his own music with assertiveness & striking words." Andrade is at an age where losing family and friends has become a sad trend. “A number of the songs are about death or somebody dying, but the songs might make you laugh, or cry, or both!,” Antonio says.

$15.00
Plus $4 shipping and handling Jingle All The Way is the seventh full length release by Antonio Andrade, and his fourth since 2014, when he concluded 38 years of full-time human service work. The root of this project was the covid pandemic, the shutdown, and the changes and adjustments. These eight songs, written between 1934 and 1962, range in age from 59 to 87 years old. All widely known, people of all ages sing them. In a certain sense, they have become folk songs. Antonio built his interpretations here around acoustic guitar and harmonica.
