ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Settled Arrows is the music project of performer and vocalist, Andrew Mars. WXPN called his debut album, “Public Privacy,” a “beautiful time capsule of modern life and love.” The project features an evolving cast of musicians from the classical, rock and avant-garde world. In September, Mars will be releasing his sophomore effort, a sci-fi/horror-fantasy rock opera entitled: “INNOCENCE (Or, The Fall of The Fool).”
