Hailing from Manchester, England, and now calling the Midwest home, singer/songwriter Andrew Batcheler is capturing attention with his distinct fusion of folk and pop/rock. His debut release highlights his versatility as a multi-instrumentalist and storyteller, blending introspective lyricism with energetic melodies.

Batcheler’s DIY approach allows him to fully shape his sound, playing every instrument on his tracks. His songs carry a personal depth, with emotional lyrics and guitar-driven melodies that range from bold to intimate. He credits his time in the Midwest with influencing his work, bringing a grounded, folk-driven feel to his otherwise pop/rock foundation.

“Music has always been my way to tell stories and connect with people on a deeper level,” Batcheler says. “Growing up in Manchester, I was influenced by the city’s iconic musical history, but also by artists like Queen and Prince, who pushed the boundaries. My journey across different U.S. states has shaped my sound even more, blending all these experiences together.”

Batcheler’s latest release, Falling Together, captures this balance of folk and rock, combining nostalgia with fresh originality. With a growing fan base and plans for live performances, Andrew Batcheler is quickly becoming an artist to watch. Falling Together is available on all major streaming platforms.
