Andy was born in Wichita Falls, Texas. He was raised in Miami, Florida where he was first exposed to classical, pop and international music. He had his first "gig" at age five with a Calypso Latin band that performed at his mother's restaurant in Miami every weekend. Andy struck out on his own at age 14, playing venues all over the United States. He started playing his trademark Harp-Guitar which he found in a pawn shop in Los Angeles in the early '70's. After studying at a performing arts college for two years, he began a full time career as an entertainer. Andy's musical career has spanned over 25 years, more than 3000 concerts and performances nationwide, 4 albums and hundreds of television and radio appearances. Andy has performed on stage with groups such as Chicago, Spyra Gyra, Firefall, Hall and Oates, Don McLean and the Spinners.

He has created soundtracks and scores for numerous television, radio and movie projects. His most recent works include the soundtrack for the PBS Special Florida's Historic Lighthouses and the motion pictures "Captiva" and "Jericho." His latest CD, "Sun, Moon, Star, Sky" is a testament to his instrumental genius and features Andy on vocals and harp guitar playing a litany of jazz standards with stupefying complexity. And he lives right here in Naples!!! You can find him at www.HarpGuitarGuy.com.
