Introduction:
When looking for a title for this album I wanted something without large emotional feeling. It had to have meaning to some degree but I didn’t want to create an overall statement on the contents.
‘Tony Alva’s Hair’ is not a concept album but it is based loosely on the idea of change occurring from determination, imagination, learning, luck and having the nerve / passion / stupidity to believe something is worth pursuing. it is also, to some degree, an outsiders view of these things.
I’ve tried to include tracks with varied approaches to rhythm and beats. I’m feeling a little confused about programming drum parts and they tend to always sit outside of genres. Hopefully I’ve created a cohesive whole with a multitude of styles.

Reviews:
“With each new album, Andrew Coleman offers a glimpse at a different side of his musical persona before refining it. Here, he comes out of his shell and soaks up the sun once again. If Demons was the sound of Coleman looking inward, with Tony Alva’s Hair , he undoubtedly turns to the outside world and is determined to make his presence felt. ”
