Press are loving The Ladder
American Way Magazine
Our affinity for the 24-year-old singer-songwriter is in the best taste. Belle sings about love and love lost on his first full-length album…
The Deli Chicago
The build up for his debut album has been warranted for Andrew Belle really does have a magical voice. Belle splits time between Chicago and Nashville and that mixture of musical cultures is vibrantly demonstrated in his music.
The Examiner
Every now and then, some perfectly sublime pop music seeps into the slipstream. Such is the case with Andrew Belle and his debut full-length, The Ladder. Strictly as a point of reference, Belle’s intonation sounds a bit like Coldplay’s Chris Martin or Blue Merle’s Luke Reynolds. But when it comes to lyricism, neither of the two crooners have anything on Belle.
Fense Post
Contemporary folk-pop is an arena that is swamped with imitators, yet a select few artists stand out above the rest. Andrew Belle is one such artist…“Static Waves” hits all the right points – it’s catchy and plush and clean and colorful. There’s a lot going on here, a lot more than your typical artist fitting this genre descriptor. It’s easy to hear why Belle was selected to open for Ben Folds, although I’d also put him in the same camp as masters like Andrew Bird.
Knox Road
The orchestral mix of strings, bells and keys makes “Static Waves” an immediate go-getter. Bottom line: It’s a pop treasure; one that you’ll soon be hearing on TV and everyone will be going, “what’s that song??” But you, my friends, will know.
Direct Current
First track from Ladders, “Static Waves” (featuring TOT tour cohort Katie Herzig) is a scarily infectious gem of staggered rhythms and detailed construction with an ear candy hook of monumental proportions.
Illinois Entertainer
There’s a lot to take pride in.
Indie Rock Cafe
After you hear the magnificent live cover of Bright Eyes ‘, “First Day of My Life,” and the wonderfully memorable, “Static Waves,” you’ll probably not forgot Andrew Belle anytime soon.
Dryvetyme Onlyne
This is classy, timeless guitar pop, complete with warm, fuzzy, vintage-feeling production and a clean, elemental approach to songwriting.
2009 saw Nashville / Chicago resident Andrew Belle invited out on the second generation Ten out of Tenn Tour and after an overwhelming response on the road, invited out for the Ten out of Tenn Holiday Tour. Ten Out of Tenn is a diverse and unique community of artists making organic pop music in the shadows of Nashville’s slick commercial country music industry on the road supporting each other every night! The original Ten out of Tenn debuted in 05 with ten musicians who were at the forefront of the vibrant Nashville pop music scene with over thirty albums released between them.
You may recognize Andrew’s voice from songs off his debut EP All Those Pretty Lights
which were featured on TV and received nationwide airplay, including love from KCRW
or from his recent opening slot for Ben Folds.
More press love for Andrew Belle

Saving the Set List
The first time I listened to singer/songwriter Andrew Belle I knew immediately that this guy was something special. His lyrics, his voice, and his hooks all work together to form something truly enjoyable and noticeably unique.
The Soundtrack to Life
When I bounce around an artist gets 45 seconds, maybe a minute and half, and “Static Waves” made the most of its chance… congratulations Mr. Belle, you’re going to the lightning round.
Carry You Away
It feels light and free, unconstrained by any need to be overly hip or trendy… this is a very promising start for Andrew Belle.
Blog Critics
Only 24, Belle has a long, bright future ahead of him.

Andrew Belle: In His Own Words
Since I was a child, I’ve always been around music; taught to appreciate the art form but only at a reasonable distance. My parents never let me listen to the radio or any kind of secular music until I was well into High-school. Before that, in Junior high, I recall making mix tapes from local radio stations during the day, and then lying in bed at night listening to all the pop hits of that time through a small, plastic walkman that I had received a few Christmases earlier. Third Eye Blind, the Counting Crows, the Verve Pipe…these were the artists that first welcomed me into the world of meaningful pop-music. The first album that I ever bought for myself was the Counting Crow’s ‘August and Everything After’ when I was a Sophomore in High-school. It had already been out for several years at that point, but I can still remember sneaking it up to my room and listening to it very softly out of the dusty sony boombox in my bedroom; pouring over every melody and marveling over the lyrical genious in Adam Duritz; thinking, ‘maybe I can do this someday?’. Not that I think of myself now as important to music as Adam Duritz or the Counting Crows have been, nor do I even dare to compare myself to such talent, but thinking back on my earliest experiences with music, there is no doubt that those quiet moments spent alone in my bedroom shaped my desires and passions and gave me the hope to make my small mark on this world, one song at a time.
