......."Fire Inside, is filled with collaborative songwriting, diverse guitar playing, instrumentals, and deeply passionate vocals that are sure to touch into parts of you that wish for connection and that elusive sense of home." I recorded this album over the course of a year, at 8 ball studios in Portland Oregon and it was a total labor of love and collaboration that I'm so happy to have been a part of . I titled the album Fire Inside, because this album is pure and simply a part of what has been growing and burning inside me for the last 20-30 years of my life. This music is filled with the places I've been, friends I've made, and the timeless search for home that have been such an important part of my journey. I learned so much through the process of writing, refining, sharing, and recording this album, and can't wait to share it with all of you. "Andrew Goncalves recorded his first album with the band "Boa Saida" back in 2010, and the day he completed that project wrote Fire Inside, the title track for his long awaited solo album.......Fire Inside, reflects some raw and beautiful places encouraging you to look inside and feel more deeply." "Andrew puts all of himself into the music, every strum, drumbeat, and belted out melody that he sings. His guitar playing is clean and diverse, varying from finger style to percussive, with some flamenco overtones." - Douglas Miller
