Andy

Andy believes he was born to play music. This however, says Andy, never set him on the road to being a ‘musician’. A self taught guitarist and singer, Andy first picked up the guitar at the age of 13 and was often seen bombarding family and friends with the latest songs he had learnt. Influences for Andy came from Bon Jovi, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Pearl Jam and locally AC/DC, Cold Chisel, Crowded House among many, many others. Andy started playing in bands at age 15, playing in numerous original and cover bands. Andy’s ear for music lead him to become a ‘hired gun’, often filling in for bands at short notice. It was with the band ‘Rust Bucket’ that Andy found most of his early success as a rhythm guitarist. Although successful, rhythm guitarist is not all Andy wanted to be. It was becoming ever apparent Andy wanted to sing and his maturing voice was becoming bigger and stronger with every song. So, when ‘Rust Bucket’ disbanded Andy saw this as a perfect opportunity to step into the spotlight. With long time friend Chris, Andy set about putting together a set list of covers that would entertain any function from 21st’s to weddings, football clubs to business style corporate functions. In the following years Chris and Andy have enjoyed more success than ever and more importantly Andy has fulfilled his dream of singing for the entertainment of others.
