  For Hack Andrews it's only fitting that the Country Music Hall of Fame sits directly across the street from the Nashville Symphony in downtown Music City.  Since the time that his guitar stood taller than he did, Andrews was torn between the world of classical music and that of country, pop and folk.  As a kid he would take the hour-long bus trip up valley to Aspen, CO, sometimes for a bluegrass lesson at the Great Divide Music store, other times for a classical guitar master class at the prestigious Aspen Music School.  Fast forward a few years, Hack found himself juggling his musical identity again - practicing for recitals, preparing for juries and studying for finals to complete his classical music degree, all while trying to maintain a full touring schedule with his Boulder-based folk/rock group, Acoustic Radio.   
  
  In 2006 Hack Andrews left the band, the mountains and his parent's llama ranch to move to Nashville, TN.  A true student of songwriting, Hack Andrews pairs an instinct for melody with gritty, lush vocals, an endless arsenal of fresh pop-country hooks and nationally recognized classical guitar chops.  He is quickly establishing himself as one of the most exciting young pop-country songwriters on the touring circuit today.
