Forced to Joust is the new music project from songwriter Andrew Robinson, formerly known as Brother Andrew. After releasing several records under the Brother Andrew name and building a devoted local following, Robinson evolved the project into Forced to Joust to reflect a new creative chapter without losing the emotional core of his earlier work.
Blending introspective songwriting, subtle humor, and a raw, lived-in sense of storytelling, Forced to Joust continues the musical path that began with Brother Andrew—just with sharper focus, new energy, and a more defined artistic vision. The name itself—a twist on the phrase “born to jest”—captures Robinson’s experience of being pushed into growth, conflict, and self-discovery, themes that run throughout both projects.
For listeners searching for Brother Andrew’s music, Forced to Joust represents the next evolution: the same voice, the same heart, expanded into a new era.
