Biography

Canadian singer/songwriter Andy Shauf was born May 26, 1987 in Saskatchewan. Well-versed in numerous instruments, Shauf began his career as the drummer in Captain, but began working on solo material in the late 2000s. He independently released his first album, Darker Days, in 2009 and a pair or EPs followed over the next three years. A second LP, The Bearer of Bad News was independently released in 2012, but was re-released in 2015 after Shauf signed to a label. That year he also enjoyed his first chart success with the single “Jenny Come Home”. A meticulous craftsman who likes to play all the instruments as he builds his track, Shauf is just as focused on his touching, literate lyrics. 2016’s The Party, a concept album about people at a small-town house party, earned him multiple nominations at the Juno Awards, the Canadian Independent Music Awards, and the Western Canadian Music Awards, and winning him Pop Artist of the year from that last group. His side band released their self-titled album Foxwarren in 2018, and received a Juno Award nod for Alternative Album of the Year. His 2020 album The Neon Skyline was another song cycle, this one about the people hanging out one night in a bar, was his first LP to chart in his home country, hitting number 91.
