Andrew Markley at Cafe Steam

Andrew Markley Music is an acoustic singer/songwriter based out of Lawrence, Kansas. Getting his start in 2013 under the name Long Story Short, Andrew debuted his musical endeavors with his single “Who You Are” (produced by Rockside Sound Productions aka RSP). Shortly after, Andrew raised over $1000 through a Kickstarter campaign to fund his first ever EP “Tried and True” (produced by RSP). His success with the Kickstarter campaign allowed him to produce yet another EP as a stretch goal, titled “Long Story Short: Live from the Rockside Room”. Andrew then entered into a two year hiatus that he emerged from in June 2018, producing and releasing his first EP as Andrew Markley, “PAUSE”, an EP of 3 songs written and recorded in 6 hours.

Markley released his first ever full-length album, “Alternate Endings”, on November 1st, 2018. The album was produced by Little Dipper Studios in Lawrence, KS. The album focuses on how man dreams up alternate endings to the trials they face, when the reality is every book is bound for a purpose, and every book has an ending firmly held in place by the ink upon the pages.

Through his five year musical career, Andrew has played several places throughout Midwest and shared the stage with artists such as Little Chief, Jonathan Thulin, Matt Baird of Spoken, Dan Hubbard, Sweet Ascent, and Mitch Langley. Andrew can be found playing small coffee shops or bars in an intimate and inviting setting.
