" While Andy Griffiths studied architecture in his younger days, music always held a passion for him. He’d graduate, become an architectural designer, start a family and even travel the world – but for the last 20 some odd years he’s also been fashioning a music career from his Burlington home. After years of slugging it out in a covers dominated scene, Griffiths has stepped out into the spotlight to offer his all original debut CD ( ‘Looking At A Life.’ ). "
"Griffiths...offers his first CD that comes off more mature than most. ‘Looking At A Life’ is a pop–rock album with a grittier edge on a life well lived – with a sound that could bring comparisons to Bob Dylan or even the Lowest of the Low."
"Griffiths has a knack for writing songs for the everyman..... "
Quotes from an interview with Ric Taylor for the View Magazine, Sept 22, 2011.
“The album has been a year in the works,” he explained. “Music is a passion for me and I love writing and performing. I can’t help myself.”
Quote from an interview with Kathryn Dunmore for the Burlington Post, Sept 16, 2011.
"Local singer/songwriter Andy Griffiths manages to take the folk rock sound to modern heights on his latest CD, Looking at a Life . . Songs like the title track, Bare Bones, Don't Listen to Me, and many others are incredibly infectious. This high energy never overpowers the solid folk foundation of the tunes."

‘Looking At A Life’ is an electric album in every sense of the word. First impression on spinning the disc is how much radio has missed real hook-filled pop rock.
The Stars Will Dance and Hooked are power pop ditties that make you sing along and tap your feet, if not dance. In fact, “Hooked” might be ripe for radio should radio ever decide to play music again.
Griffiths has emotional heft as well as witnessed by the subtle, more acoustic leaning Bear With Me and She Goes (Thru The Market Place). But the real winner is the folky, anthemic Lend A Hand which could easily pass as a Gordon Lightfoot song. It’s rolling, dynamic and mesmerizing.'
