The 10-song collection combines yarn-spinning lyrics with a range of roots styles and grooves. The band calls its sound “Garageband Americana,” a form of homegrown pub rock that spans many genres with a small combo vibe.

The combo of Andy B.AND SoulFolk consists of VooDUDES guitarist Gary Ambrosy, as well as bassist Paul Daloia, keyboardist Matty Hahn and drummer Bill Homeyer. Album guests include Blues Leaf recording artist “Juke Joint” Jonny Rizz on acoustic guitar and Nugget of New Brunswick vocalist Barbara Homeyer-Hahn.

Andy B.AND SoulFolk will celebrate the release of  “Tellin’ Myself Weird Li’l Stories” on May 23 at Pino's Lounge in Highland Park, and July 26 at West Windsor Summer Concerts on July 26.
