I'm a solo acoustic performer of classic and alternative rock and alt-country from the 70's through today. After many years of playing guitar (mostly around campfires and parties), I decided to start playing publicly when I "semi" retired in 2024. I'm based in Queensbury, NY, and I book both public and private events. I provide my own pro sound equipment, and I can play a wide variety of songs and genres to please most crowds. I take audience requests, and my goal is for everyone to have a great time.

September 24, 2025We had the pleasure of having Andy perform at our restaurant on Lake George, and he was fantastic. Andy creates a great atmosphere while his music is engaging without ever being too loud, which some of our guests really appreciated. He knows all the fan favorites, always draws in a large crowd of great guests, and keeps people staying longer to enjoy the night. Andy had our bar busier than I have seen it in over a decade. Professional, talented, and easy to work with, Andy is exactly the kind of musician we love having perform at our venue. Highly recommend him for any venue/restaurant looking to elevate their live music experience.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! It is always a lot of fun playing there!
Price range: ~$250 for typical 3-hour gig
Languages: English
Gig length: 45 - 240 minutes
I will play sets of acoustic covers, as well as take requests from the audience. I try to be flexible with my set list to match the vibe from the crowd. If desired, I will work with the venue or party planner to design a set list that they feel would be most suitable for the event or occasion. My setlist can range from artists like the Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, CCR, Tyler Childers, Zack Bryan, Pearl Jam, Noah Kahan, Chappel Roan, Teddy Swims, and many others.
I will bring my own equipment (including a Peavey 1060 Column PA, a Yamaha DBR 10, and a Fishman MIni Loudbox that I will set up as needed based on the venue space.
I treat each gig as an opportunity to entertain and engage, and I also work to ensure that I'm meeting the needs of the establishment, managers, planners.

I'm entirely flexible. I bring my own equipment as needed, but can also work with a venue's own sound system. I would typically just send a mix out to the venue board in that case. Aside from that, I just need a power outlet and reasonable amount of space to set up.
Here is a fairly comprehensive list of what I'll play (with some songs more suitable for senior living centers vs bars and vice versa).
This goes by Song Title, and then Artist below.

My favorite artists include Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and Tom Petty, but I listen to and play a wide variety of genres. Classic Alternative is probably one of my go-to's, as well as Alt-Country (or Outlaw Country, No Depression, etc.). I also like to work in modern songs in an acoustic style, like Teddy Swims or Chappell Roan.
