Andy plays a wide variety of hits and forgotten gems from throughout the years. Smooth and sincere, Andy is perfect for a relaxed vibe: patios, wine bars, taprooms, backyards, etc. He can also take it up a notch when the party gets going or lighten things up a little when the whole family is there.
Andy is part of a large network of musicians, and can easily expand to a duo, trio, or full band to fit your event.
Andy is also a licensed minister, and although it's not something he does regularly, he can officiate your wedding in the state of Minnesota.

October 7, 2025We had Andy play at our event and he was awesome! Great vibe, great mix of songs, and super easy to work with. Everyone loved the music — it set the perfect mood for the night. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a talented, professional, and easygoing acoustic artist!

On stage, you can expect Andy to focus on the music. He'll keep the chit-chat to a minimum, unless there's something that needs saying. That said, he's always happy to help with announcements, raffle drawings, contests, lost keys… whatever is required. (Or, he can make a microphone available for someone else to make announcements, too.) Volume levels are always appropriate for the venue, and he'll happily adjust to clients' requests.
Off stage, Andy is a total pro. He'll arrive on time, set up the equipment quickly and neatly, and take care of whatever needs doing. Depending on the situation, he can engage with guests or slip discretely out of the way when not performing.
When the performance is over, he'll pack up quickly and be out of your way with a minimum of fuss.
In short, Andy is always focused on the client and the event, and wants your overall experience to be positive.
Originally from Cincinnati, Andy has called Minneapolis home for the last couple decades. As a solo performer and with several notable bands, Andy has played nearly every stage in the Twin Cities (and quite a few in the surrounding areas). You can find him playing bass, guitar, and even keyboards once in a while. He's also worked over 200 weddings, both as a live musician and as a DJ.
Technical requirements will vary based on the event and the venue, but Andy is very flexible to any situation. He can work with you to make sure all technical details are handled properly.
