REVIEWS FROM PREVIOUS ENGAGEMENTS:
"...You guys are great a fun band , you had a great choice of songs and it really sounds good. I think this guy should be playing around town more”

"Super talented! Love the energy and passion Andy brings with his music to Stockwell Cellars winery on Friday nights.
"Suzanne Zeber, Direct to Consumer Manager at Stockwell Cellars, Stockwell Cellars (3/13/16)

"It was a pleasure working with you on the music for our annual GPLA BBQ, which is the 2nd largest event of the year for us, attended by important clients and colleagues from all over the country. This year we had large attendance with a lot of diversity ranging from Stanford and Berkeley professors to owners to architects to steel and rebar detailers. Everyone said the music made this the best BBQ ever. The fact that you came over the week before to make sure the logistics and infrastructure were coordinated, came early to set up, and mixed effortlessly with the crowd between sets made our jobs effortless. I think we have established another GPLA tradition because we’ll have to have you at the BBQ every year. I hope you and your bandmates are up for that."
Greg Luth, President - Gregory P. Luth & Associates, Inc. (7/21/16)

"I love the way you channel Jerry Jeff...nice sound...then right back with John Prine".
Vince Tuzzi, Musician/Entertainer, (11/14/15)

"Everyone enjoyed the music. Your low key and professional presence was the oil in the machinery. It was great that you were able to take so many requests and roll with changing rooms easily"
Russ Rueger, (8/30/16)

Born and raised on the beach, boardwalk and streets of Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY in 1950, where a variety of music was heard throughout the neighborhood rich with local talent, from Woody Guthrie, Carole King, Neil Sedaka, Neil Diamond, The Tokens, Kenny Vance and from other nearby neighborhoods, the Four Seasons, Jay & The Americans, Dion & The Belmonts. Andy began singing in an acapella doo wop trio at an early age for several years their own pleasure and friends, on street corners, stoops, hallways, stairwells, bathrooms and anyplace they could find an echo.

Before starting the next chapter in his life, hitch-hiking across the country to the other beach boardwalk town of Santa Cruz, California in 1971, he got to experience 3 days of peace, love and music at Woodstock that left an impact on his life and music.

The change of scene and experiences on the west coast expanded his music influencers to Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, John Prine, Guy Clark, Jerry Jeff Walker, Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson, George Jones, Larry Hosford, Townes van Zandt, Gram Parsons and many others.

Since 2009, Andy has been a working musician, performing his eclectic mix of originals and covers from folk, classic country, oldies, bluegrass, and blues mixed in with a helping of Brooklyn Doo Wop. His friends christened his mashup of genres as Brooklynbilly Music.
