Touring his new album release, Halfway Home by Morning that was recorded live off the floor in Nashville, U.S. to keep the sound authentic.
鈥淔or me it sounds like just like seeing a live band when you are recording off the floor,鈥� said Andersen.
鈥淚 wanted to make sure that what you heard at the studio and at home is what you would hear if you heard it in person.鈥�
For this album, the New Brunswick musician said he wanted to make sure that he didn鈥檛 compromise any of the big sounds that are intertwined in the 13 song album.

鈥淢usic is supposed to be an escape,鈥� said Andersen.
The song Last Quarter On The Ground was actually never supposed to be on the album revealed Andersen.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a song about my uncle Joe who passed away three years ago. Joe was always visiting, always calling and always checking up on the family. After he passed away I kept wishing I could talk to uncle Joe one last time. It was something I recorded to give as a gift to my mom but my manager heard it and thought it should go on there.鈥�
