Andrew is a BMI artist and is endorsed by K&K Sound and Timberline Guitars. “Big stages are fun,”says string instrumentalist Andrew Kasab, “but I love the intimate, right-next-to-your-audience shows. There’s nothing quite like making jokes with folks while entertaining the pants off them.” “I [strive] to craft music along the lines of influencing artists who, I believe, were imitating other instruments and reimagining them on a bass, guitar, organ, etc,” he says. “That, to me, is an essential element to the guitar.” “Fish” features a range of genre influences and finger-picking techniques. On it, Kasab tried to capture the most comprehensive sampling of instrumental material in one album."- Shannon Rae Gentry, Encore (Dec 27, 2019) "Raleigh's Andrew Kasab plays a curious instrument: the harp guitar. His twelve-string acoustic apparatus looks like something snatched from a Hieronymus Bosch painting, but in Kasab's hands, it delivers the most delightful sounds. On 2015's "Fish," Kasab tackles a surprisingly wide range of styles over twenty-four tracks, from the opening, American Primitive-inspired "Ire" to the snappy, aptly titled "D St Funk." Kasab's music is gentle enough that it works well as a background complement to an easygoing night...but do give yourself the favor of giving him your rapt attention instead."- Allison Hussey, Indyweek (Jan 04, 2018)
