Live Werks

About This Album

Live Werks captures a milestone in Andrew Doss's career — the first-ever live performance of his original music. Recorded on August 26, 2025, at MadLife Stage & Studios in Woodstock, Georgia, and released on January 1, 2026, this seven-song set documents Andrew stepping fully into his own identity as a songwriter and frontman, carrying his own material into the public space for the first time.

Backed by The Werks — a group of seasoned Atlanta musicians and personal friends whose precision and energy elevated every moment — Doss delivered a set of high-energy pop songs that brimmed with urgency and vitality. The band featured Harriet Williams on vocals, Ed Rogers on guitar, Eric Sands on bass, and John Presti on drums. There was a sense of fresh discovery in the air: familiar in the way pop hooks can instantly grab the ear, but undeniably new in their character, shape, and voice.

What makes this live album remarkable is not perfection — it is presence. The recording captures the sound of songs meeting their audience for the first time: the adrenaline in the performances, the unfiltered edges, the moments where the music takes flight and surprises even the musicians themselves. You can hear a band locking in, song by song, as if mapping out new territory together.

Live albums are often documents of established acts refining their catalog in front of an audience. This one is different. It is the first snapshot — the musical equivalent of a first breath, preserved live with studio precision. For Andrew Doss, this concert marked the crossing of a threshold: from composer, collaborator, and band member into songwriter and frontman. For listeners, it offers the rare chance to hear not just songs, but an artist at the very moment of becoming.
