Kentucky country singer-songwriter Andy Brasher offers a sweet, tender country ballad just in time for Valentine’s Day with “If She Loves,” a tribute to a partner who “loves whole-heartedly” from Brasher’s forthcoming album Myna Bird.
Brasher says he wrote the song for his girlfriend, Tamarra.
“I’ve been looking forward to releasing ‘If She Loves’ probably more than any one song on the record,” Brasher tells Wide Open Country. “It’s personal. I wrote it for my girlfriend, Tamarra, who embodies the song. And it just so happens to be coming out on Valentine’s Day! The first time I performed it live, she was in the audience and I decided to lock eyes with her through the entire song. Kind of as a joke at first, kinda to watch her squirm a little and see how she’d react. Maybe she’d crack up? Maybe she’d get nervous, knowing that there were so many people watching us?

Really, inspiration can come from anywhere — including your childhood imaginary friends. On “Face in the Wallpaper,” Andrew Weiss and Friends hearken back to childhood attachments in a wistful folk song that reminds us that innocence and playfulness don’t need to live in the past.
“When I was around 6 years old, I used to wake up at 6AM every Saturday morning to watch cartoons in my parents’ room. The wallpaper in that room was white and green, and when you stared at it for long enough, it became a portal into a new world,” Weiss explains to The Boot. “Faces appeared, bodies danced and relationships formed with imaginary friends … until everyone else in the house woke up, and everybody in this world disappeared. “Face in the Wallpaper” was written about those experiences.”
Anything and everything. It’s a warzone out here nowadays and people have lots of options so without bombarding people with too many social media posts try to be effective without being overbearing. I find a little humor and quick personal stories garner a lot of attention from our fans. READ MORE…
