Andrew Cloninger is a musician, composer, and poet known for his emotionally rich, intuitive approach to creativity. With a background in improvisation, instrumental music, and storytelling, his work blends ambient textures, evocative melodies, and raw emotion.
A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Andrew’s journey has been shaped by resilience and reinvention, including overcoming a traumatic neck injury that temporarily took away his ability to play music. His book C67, a collection of haiku, explores themes of identity, healing, and personal transformation.
As a collaborator, Andrew thrives in organic, improvisational spaces, including his project Wren Cove, where he creates immersive, soul-stirring soundscapes. His philosophy is simple: music is emotion in motion, a force that unites, heals, and challenges perspectives.
