about

Nowhere & Main is the debut album by Montreal singer/songwriter Andre Kirchhoff. Spanning stripped-down alt-country, the darker edges of acoustic folk, and the roots-accented outskirts of rock, Nowhere & Main shows Andre has a foot firmly planted in both Montreal’s burgeoning indie-rock scene and its equally vibrant roots and country community. On this expansive and varied debut booze-soaked tales of indulgence and brooding suicide ballads dovetail with rollicking highway songs, and wistful childhood remembrances, all delivered with equal parts intensity and sincerity.

Recorded at Montreal’s UrbanHanded Works Studio with producer Gern f. (The United Steelworkers of Montreal) and engineer Cecile Doo-Kingue, Nowhere & Main showcases Andre’s multi-instrumental talents. In addition to lead vocal and acoustic / electric guitar duties he sprinkles in slide guitar, harmonica, dobro, lap steel guitar and banjo, while receiving strong support from numerous local musicians, including members of USWM, The Dress Whites, Little Birdie, and The Jimmyriggers.

Originally from Ottawa, Ontario, Andre began performing and writing while completing architecture studies at Montreal’s McGill University. In addition to performing solo, he also played for a number of years in folk ensemble Little Birdie, fronted by singer-songwriter Orit Shimoni. Andre's principal role these days is as a founding member, guitarist and vocalist with local alt-country/rock mainstays The Jimmyriggers.
