Andersen Silva is a left-handed guitar-playing singer/songwriter from northeastern New Jersey. His debut album, "Joy in the New," was released in 2004 and is available from iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon, and other sites; the follow-up, "Tougher than Flannel," is in progress. All songs are written and instruments played by Silva. "Sporting black Converse sneakers, purple T-shirt and disheveled dirty blond hair, Silva equally resembles a Fifties rock hero and a computer geek." - the South Bergenite
