"Church’s songwriting is dynamic, playful and full of ear-catching melodies, memorable choruses and tag lines."
- Greg Newman, BOOTLEG MAGAZINE

"The album likens influences from James Taylor to Fountains of Wayne to Tom Petty and Neil Young – but Church is most effective when on guitar with straightforward tones and textures that make the songs rich."
- AUSTIN DAZE

"This collection of adult contemporary cuts sprinkled with a dash of country on top goes down like a caramel macchiatto: smooth, sweet, and invigorating."
- Andy Kaufmann, MUSIC CONNECTION MAGAZINE

"Second to none is of course the outstanding singing performance of the 48 year old Andy Church himself. This man avails over a warm and pleasant voice which gives most songs on the cd an extra positive qualitative dimension."
- ROOTSTIME (Belgium)

Raised in the Southeast on barbecue and college ball,
Andy Church combines heart, soul, and fine chops to create
new music inspired by the innovative bands of the 60's and 70's.

Originally from Lexington, North Carolina,
and steeped in the rich combo music culture of Chapel Hill,
Andy has spent a lifetime pursuing great songs from almost every angle.

As a performer, session player, guitar dealer,
studio organizer, instructor, enabler, handyman,
avid listener, amateur scientist, and lab rat,
Church has collected a strong set of diverse skills and
put them all to work in the making of
SLEEPING IN THE VAN.

Thoughtful lyrics and bold melodies are set to a
richly-textured blend of electric and acoustic guitars.

Not exactly true to any specific genre,
these songs reflect an honest approach that goes straight to the heart of
what makes a boy pick up a guitar in the first place.
