Their music is built around soulful guitar playing, inspired by the gentle Carlos Santana, the instrumental Pink Floyd and the low-key lyrical quality of Larry Carlton and Jeff Beck.\n\nThe group's music is best described as \"a flowing, modern sound built on a soulful combo of guitar, keyboards, drums and bass - with other instruments and ambient textures added\". Their compositions are inspired by west-coast smooth, roots, lounge-jazz and ambient/atmospheric music, but never takes away, or loses sight of, exceptionally strong melodies and down to earth groove.\n\nBut AndrewPlusJohn also offers another dimension: a magnificent landscape, a relaxed state of mind, broad fields and the feeling of sitting alone under a giant oak during a warm evening, with a gentle breeze upon your face.\n\nThere's an Italian phrase: \"Cantabile\". Look that up, and you'll be able to identify with what AndrewPlusJohn is all about!", "photo" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/img/andrewplusjohn.jpg", "web_url" :
