Music Nova Scotia artist Andrew White is a great story teller. He draws you into his music with lyrics that are both meaningful and at times, deeply personal. In Walk in Light, you walk in Andrew’s shoes for a moment and come out on the other side better for it.” - Rob Poland, Candyrat Records
Recorded this September 2008 in Chicago (USA), “Walk in Light” is Andrew White's twelfth and most ambitious album to date. Featuring a full band comprised of the city's finest session musicians; it introduces dynamic new songs from a broad spectrum of styles. From reggae beats to blues to folk, it displays Andrew's versatility as a guitarist, songwriter and arranger.
Released worldwide on Candyrat Records, this is Andrew's second album with this innovative Milwaukee-based label. Traces of Silver, a solo acoustic album featuring songs and instrumentals, was recorded at the Silver Glen Resort by Candyrat founder Rob Poland in Nova Scotia and released worldwide in 2007.

Andrew started his career busking on the streets of Auckland, New Zealand, but soon began his meteoric rise. In 1984, he released his first album, Conversations, and was immediately signed by the new-age label Narada Records in the US. Narada Records then released Islands, an instrumental collaboration withGrammy-nominated artist David Arkenstone, which reached the top 30 on the US Billboard Charts.
Following a live broadcast on BBC Radio Scotland, he was signed by UK label Linn Records and recorded Guitarra Celtica, a stunning instrumental album featuring 16 hauntingly beautiful original tracks. This was quickly followed with Pray For Rain, Andrew's first vocal album released on the independent Scottish label Vertical Records.
In January of 2005, he released Andrew White - Live, recorded byCBC Radio Canada, broadcast to over 2-million people, and was nominated for a Canadian East Coast Music Award. Over 1 million albums, including Andrew's own compositions, have been sold worldwide. Andrew's finger-style guitar work is technically brilliant yet possesses a highly melodic structure. He is one of the few who combines international class guitar playing with skilfully crafted and beautiful songs. A humble and gifted musician, Andrew's music will take you on a spiritual journey over the mountains of his soul and rivers through it.
