Music

Ned Andrew Solomon’s first creative outlet was music. A member of the Balladeers at Camp Taconic in the early 1970s, Ned was writing original compositions on his guitar before he was driving — one of which is even archived in the Smithsonian.  In the 1980s, his bands No Mercy, Poetic Justice, and Economy – which featured his original compositions – performed at several Baltimore live music venues.

In 1988, Ned moved to Nashville, TN to pursue a career as a songwriter. A regular at venues in and around Nashville, including the landmark Bluebird Cafe, he gained a dedicated following. As fortune would have it, a smaller audience at home needed his attention, and he put away his guitar for more steady work.

After nearly a decade, Ned Andrew has rekindled his affair with his 1971 Martin at the urging of his wife, Gina Lynette, and his friends, co-writers and former band members.

While Ned Andrew rarely plays “out” these days, it’s a sweet treat when he does. As one local paper announced, “Guests should arrive early since Solomon performed to a standing room only crowd at his last performance here.”
