He does it all, from writing his melodic folk rockers to recording them in his personal studio in South New Jersey. He began playing covers at a Jersey coffeehouse in 1995 but quickly gravitated toward writing his own material.Four years in the making. If I Were Me makes an excellent calling card as to who Andy Dimacale is and what he has to offer the musical landscape. Dimacale has a very precise way of putting emotions into words, and he doesn't waste a lot on unneeded language. It makes for a very heartfelt record. His voice is one that evokes the singer/songwriter genre of his coffeehouse roots, but would also be at home on Top 40 radio. It's got a youthful quality to it only betrayed by the road-weariness of his words. From the title track:And if I were me, I scream and shoutIf I were me, I'd walk right outBut I'm not quite myself now, anymoreThe title track rings out with an expressive bass drum and emotive vocal layers, but like all of the album remains grounded in the simplicity of the words and the acoustic guitar. Andy also does a great job of tackling the minor things that plague every working person's life, like fitting in time for a relationship, as he writes about in "I Choose Us."When I cry, my lovers eyes are empty, oh the painIt's not that she don't love meIt's just her life gets in the wayCatching planes, chasing trains, we pencil in our loveDimacale does a good job of balance with his record. It's well-produced and is not simply a demo, but his instrumentation choices are tasteful and never overpower the song. One of the most heartfelt songs on the record is "Little Miss America" -- the listener can sense remorse and regret over choices made in the past and the desire to make them right now that the singer is older and wiser, but also with a resignation that sometimes things can't be undone.When I was youngerI had the thunderand wisdom was just for foolsnow I am older a little less bolderhow can I make it up to you?I'm still trying, she's not buyingmy little Miss America"Little Miss America" is also purely dang catchy, making it a highlight track and one of the first you should seek out if you are testing out Dimacale's sound.

How I got into music: Originally, i'm from West Philadelphia, my father was heavily into classical music, as far as i can remember. My parents bought a piano when i was about 7 years old. I knew at that age they wanted me to learn how to play it and show me the joy of music. I took piano lessons for 7 years and i have to say i was a bad student. I didn't practice the songs i was supposed to learn that week. I would come up with excuses, i look back on it now and think to myself, why wasn't i motivated to practice during the week. I suppose it was because i was shy, dont know why but i was. I decided to quit playing the piano when i was 13 and then didn't intend to do anything with music at all. Music was something that i was exposed to all of my life through my father, but didn't find any real connection to it at the time. My family moved to Haverford, and over the course of time i befriended a guy named Greg. He was really into the music of the time. Nirvana, Green Day, Offspring. He would make me copies of the cds to listen to. I didn't really like any of it at first. It was soo different from the music i grew up with. But i remember there was one song, that grabbed me, "Basket Case," by Green Day. There was something about it. I couldn't stop listening to it. If you listened to the tape now, you would hear that the quality of that song was significantly worse than the rest of the songs cause of the wear on the tape itself. Eventually, the tape was such bad quality that i went out and bought the CD. I remember asking my dad if I could use his cd player to listen to it. I cranked it up. I knew it was something. My friend Greg and I began talking about music, Greg more into the lifestyle and glamour of it all. I was never into all of that. Finding out about the artists and so on, but yea I must say I had my fair share of bands who I really liked. Greg bought a guitar. So for Christmas I asked for a guitar too. My wish came true. That day I learned how to play a "power chord" and the next day I learned how to play Basket Case. From then Greg and I formed a band, and my friends from high school wanted in. So my friend decided to buy a bass and join the group and another friend Ryan decided to play drums. To sum up, I was the songwriter and we formed a band ...
