October 12, 2022Challenge Accepted and Kindergartener Approved.
Andy was fantastic. He was able to captivate 900 kindergarten students at a time with his fun education songs and we loved how he engaged them to dance and sign with him. He was flexible in making edits to the set time, was open to feedback and adaptable to the situation. Great with large crowds. Everyone, kids and adults were amazed and entertained.

October 9, 2022Kids Music Day Celebration
AndyRoo was absolutely amazing for our school’s first big assembly of the school year. We celebrated Kids Music Day with song, dance, and event got to record a custom school song with AndyRoo.

July 23, 2018BEST PARTY DECISION EVER
I honestly cannot say enough about AndyRoo. His songs were melodic and charming enough for adults to enjoy and engaging and simple enough for kids to follow and participate. He made our party a complete delight and I am still so happy we made the decision to hire him. There wasn't one person who didn't enjoy the show.

June 8, 2026Consistently Awesome
This is the second time I've booked AndyRoo for an event. He was wonderful the first time and similarly amazing this time around. I had him out for an outdoor family festival where he provided child & family friendly music for attendees. All songs were age appropriate and fun, he was able to engage with the crowd and get kids dancing along. His set up was entirely self-contained; I was ready to provide electric access, extension cord, etc. but he didn't need it! This allowed him a wider variety of spaces to set up and be in a good spot. All around great ambiance for the event!

April 15, 2026Fantastic experience!!
We had AndyRoo play a concert for our son's 3rd birthday, and it was a huge hit!! Andy arrived on time, easily set up, and was so kind and friendly. He has great musical talent, original songs, and keeps the kids engaged in the music! We really enjoyed our experience with Andy! Would highly recommend for anyone looking to add something special to their child's birthday experience.

What to expect
A typical AndyRoo and the AndyRooniverse performance features songs played on acoustic guitar, live vocals, and backing tracks for other instruments like bass and percussion. The songs are fun and focused on exploration and imagination. Performances tend to be 45 minutes to 1 hour in length, though I have performed multiple sets for events that last a whole day. Whether you're throwing a large festival or a backyard birthday party, I am interested in working with you. I have all of my own sound production equipment for events up to 4,000 people, so event planners can save time and money on finding quality production.

A featured performer on Radio Disney AM 1590, Andrew has delighted kids of all ages at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, at the PBS Kids show at SXSW, and on the Kids Country Stage with Radio Disney at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. His debut children’s album "Welcome to the AndyRooniverse" was recorded in part at the #1-ranked children’s museum in the United States - the Children’s Museum of Houston.
“The energetic debut album from AndyRoo is bursting with imagination and creativity. AndyRoo’s extensive music background provides a solid basis for an album that can be enjoyed by the entire family, over and over again!”
– Lauren Ramsey, Radio Host, Radio Disney AM 1590
“AndyRoo’s music inspires children’s imagination. They were hopping on imaginary hopscotches, brushing their teeth, and swinging through the trees like chimpanzees. Their smiling faces showed the joy that AndyRoo’s music can bring.”
-Cara Clark, Discovery Room Coordinator, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
“AndyRoo’s music is delightful, insightful, and just plain fun to listen and dance to! It was such a treat for our visitors to have him at the Museum. We look forward to his next performances.”
– Bunmi Gaidi, Arts Educator, Children’s Museum of Houston
