10 Out Of Tenn

by JRFortson

10 Out Of Tenn © JRFortson
 
Portrait of artist JRFortson (United States)
Added on July 12, 2009 01:55
Pencil



This is MY SON Drew Richard aka "Andrew Belle"
www.AndrewBelle.com was just asked to join the Music Tour "10 out of Tenn". He had to move to Nashville, Tennessee to do it, but will get lots of exposure, as they just appeared in the July issue of American Song Writer magazine and several others.

The "10 out of Tenn" are basically 10 "emerging musical SOLO artists" out of Tennessee (USA) who tour the country together like in the movie "Walk the Line" where several musicians toured together. Check out some "10 out of Tenn" (aka "TOT") music www.10outoftenn.com

This photo was taken about 2 years ago, when he had shorter hair. ANDREW BELLE is the "stage name". It means Beautiful in French.

Very nice Rick and I love the song very impressive. Hope he makes the big time. My grandson is into the heavier Rock and I can't understand much of his music but I am equally happy for his band Arkana in Cleveland Ohio. I will look up the web site and forward it to you for Andrew he may like to see it.
