To Catch A Thief

Post-cultural-mood-rock artist Andy Zipf scheduled to perform at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA on August 13, 2004

Arlington, VA (PRWEB) August 5, 2004 -- On August 13, 2004, five months since Virginia's own Andy Zipf released his debut E.P. entitled "I Stole The Morning Sun", this rising talent's persistence has earned him a supporting slot with singer and songwriter Ari Hest at Alexandria, Virginia's premier venue the Birchmere. Combing solid songwriting, haunting melodies and poignant lyrics with new and old technology has become a staple of Andy's live show, to this end Zipf supplements his performances by "podjacking" or broadcasting electronic textures and loops through old radios using an Apple Ipod.

Relentless promotion and a tireless schedule of writing, rehearsing, recording, and performing has helped him to gain national distribution, a host of new fans, airplay on XM Satellite Radio, and the ear of people like Michael Jaworek, who books acts for the Birchmere." Hard working, gorgeous music, and thoughtful lyrics," says the talent buyer who has seen his fair share of talent from Dave Matthews to Emmylou Harris, "the
forward thinking Mr. Zipf may just be the breakthrough artist that Washington DC needs to have in the world of the new singer-songwriter. Not a folkie, Zipf's music shimmers with a modernity that is firmly based in the aforementioned holy trinity of making it."
