NorthLight Records is pleased to announce the release of Chasing Time, the sixth full-length album from midwest songwriter and Celtic folk-rock troubadour Andrew D. Huber.
In the three and a half years since his hallmark long play Mockingbird Gallows, songwriter Andrew D. Huber has kept up with his audience by playing a relentless amount of live shows and offering some standout singles and an EP, all of which have served to sharpen his craft of “acoustic folk-rock with a Celtic twist” to near perfection. Chasing Time captures Huber and his primary collaborators (violinist Jo Marie Sison and percussionist Anthony Jay Houston) in their peak form. The depth of song and performance is heard from start to finish and the album plays as a concert in and of itself.
Bookended by the gentle and road-tested “Better Days Ahead” and “Waiting for Daisy”, the 12 tracks on Chasing Time range from fun and energetic crowd-raisers (“Silver Spaceship", “Bottom of the Bay”, and “From the Boot”) to haunting and aching ballads (“Winter from the East”, “Mad Captain”, and “Sadder Well”), somehow managing to capture all the transitional emotions between the two benchmarks along the way. Standout first single “Safe Passage Home” has already received significant indie radio play, and is a bellwether for the sound of the and focus of the album. Alongside the effectively dramatic “Seven Shot Lane”, reflective “Glideslope” and anthemic “Blessings High”, Chasing Time is a thoroughly accurate and enjoyable showcase of Huber’s songwriting.
Throughout the album, Huber’s command of lyric and melody have never been stronger. His previous releases have garnered him significant praise on both sides of the Atlantic, with well-earned critical comparisons to the Pogues, the Waterboys, and Great Big Sea, three absolute giants of the Celtic folk-rock mountain. Chasing Time keeps Huber firmly on the rock, but this time he brought his own flag and it is clear he aims to stay.
Chasing Time is available in both digital and physical formats. For additional information, bookings, or further contact, please visit www.andrewdhuber.com or write geckoclub@aol.com.

NorthLight Records is pleased to announce the release of Mockingbird Gallows, the fifth full-length album from midwest songwriter Andrew D. Huber.
Songwriter Andrew D. Huber leveled-up with his previous release Mercury Gets A Moon (2014), which had critics hailing the incredible depth of his songwriting and impressive instrumentation. After three years of relentless performing, Huber has emerged sharper than ever with Mockingbird Gallows, his most concise, most impactful recording to date. The album is the definitive example of Huber’s trademarked “acoustic folk-rock with a Celtic twist”. From the storm-the-castle opening of “Brandon Bay” through the beautifully wicked title track, to the anthemic closer “God Fearing Man”, Mockingbird Gallows firmly plants Huber’s flag in the Celtic-rock field. Whether a foot-stomper or ballad, each of the 12 songs is a reminder that the writer’s critical praise on both sides of the Atlantic is well-earned. Radio-ready highlights include the glorious Celtic-pop melancholy of “St. Patrick’s Well”, the fist-pumping pub-rock anthem “Singin’ ‘Til I Sail”, the somber and heartbreaking “Ringmaster” and “Author’s Note”, and the inimitable title track “Mockingbird Gallows”. Once again recording with the core team of Huber (vocals, guitars, mandolin, bass, etc), Jo Marie Sison (violin), and Anthony Jay Houston (drums and percussion), the album triumphs on the strength of its lyrics, melodies, and sincere performances.

NorthLight Records is pleased to announce the release of Mercury Gets A Moon, the fourth full-length album from midwest songwriter Andrew D. Huber.
Songwriter Andrew D. Huber is well-known as an accomplished writer and engaging performer in various folk-rock circles of the midwest. Playing his trademarked “acoustic folk-rock with a celtic twist” regularly throughout IL, WI, and MN, his previous releases have garnered hard-won critical comparisons to Great Big Sea, R.E.M., Paul Simon, and even Bob Dylan. From the layered fade in of the title track to the gentle wave of the closing “Noah Had It Right”, the album offers 15 tracks of acoustically-based heartfelt songs infused with heavy doses of celtic melody, instrumentation, and phrasing. Highlights of Mercury Gets A Moon include the melancholic beauty of "Broken Sky", the Irish-pub-howl of "Two-Drink Charlie", the sinister stomp of “Tell the Devil”, the anthemic “Don’t Tell Me of the Sea”, and the pure pop bliss of “My Heart Somewhere”. Recorded with the core team of Huber (vocals, guitars, mandolin, bass, etc), Jo Marie Sison (violin), and Anthony Jay Houston (drums and percussion), the album is musically impressive, lyrically captivating, and stands out as an authentic gut-check of sincerity, spirit, and craft.
