Andrew Preston

A.p. Harbor is the vehicle for the music of Andrew Preston, singer-songwriter and producer from Van Lear, Kentucky. Preston has been a featured songwriter by the International Bluegrass Music Association, lecture faculty for the Appalachian Writer’s Workshop, and nominee for the 2018 Audioverse Awards. With works spanning hundreds of performances through four countries and eight LPs, Preston and his collective of bandmates have become recognizable mainstays of Appalachia’s burgeoning indie scene. With drummer Matt Holleran, singers Heather Holleran and Mary Morris, guitarist Michael Jarvi, and bassist Todd Bailey, A.p. Harbor’s sound is as varied and whimsical as its players.

The Hum of a Dreaming Moon

Surreal, dreamlike, and absurdist lyrics-as-poetry weave together fact and fable in this debut collection from A.p. Harbor: pen name of Appalachian songwriter Andrew Preston. Illustrated in doodles and fragments by bandmate Mary Morris, this hodgepodge of story-songs explores love, nature, magic, family, science, and the humdrum of everyday life. This collection features the entire discography of A.p. Harbor, chronicling lyrics and recording info from 2005 to 2025.
