artist Andre Kirchhoff

Nowhere & Main is the debut album by Montreal singer/songwriter Andre Kirchhoff. Spanning stripped-down alt-country, the darker edges of acoustic folk, and the roots-accented outskirts of rock, Nowhere & Main shows Kirchhoff has a foot firmly planted in both Montreal’s burgeoning indie-rock scene and its equally vibrant roots and country community. On this expansive and varied debut, booze-soaked tales of indulgence and brooding suicide ballads dovetail with rollicking highway songs, and wistful childhood rememberances.

Recorded at Montreal’s UrbanHanded Works Studio with producer Gern f. (The United Steelworkers of Montreal) and engineer Cecile Doo-Kingue, Nowhere & Main also showcases Kirchhoff’s multi-instrumental talents, as well as the contribution of numerous local musicians, including members of USWM, The Dress Whites, Little Birdie, and The Jimmyriggers.

Originally from Ottawa, Ontario, André began performing and writing while completing architecture studies at McGill University. When not performing solo, Kirchhoff can be seen on various instruments with Montreal ensemble Little Birdie, fronted by singer-songwriter Orit Shimoni, as well as on lead guitar and vocals in the twangy four-piece rock band The Jimmyriggers.
