In a career that began in Vancouver’s independent music scene of the early 1980s, Doug Andrew has shared bills with everyone from The Ramones and The Replacements to Raffi and Ramblin' Jack Elliott. He is recognized as an accomplished singer-songwriter respected by critics, peers and music fans alike. The Edmonton Journal has described his songs as having "slightly twisted, always interesting storyline lyrics" delivered "with an energetic thrust that falls just shy of reckless abandon." SEE Magazine has said his songs "should shuffle him off into the Canadian musical songwriting hierarchy" and the Vancouver Province declared "Andrew is a great songwriter ...while The Circus In Flames are his extraordinarily sympathetic band...a weird mix of musical eclecticism built on a dark folklore."
