Andrew Pauls is a songwriter, a storyteller, community-builder, a cyclist, and sometimes
a gardener. Andrew is fascinated by the small stories that scaffold our lives– the tiny
triumphs and tragedies that shape us into who we are. Andrew is in love with the world,
and each of his meticulous imagery reveals his curiosity about everyday things.
Pauls’s observant and compassionate songs have won him numerous awards, including
first place in the 2026 Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriter Showcase and the overall
grant prize in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest.
On stage, Andrew leads with joy, inviting the listener to join him in his state of wonder–
as if he were pointing at the sky and shouting, “wow, look at the moon!”
