Andy Simon

Bio:

Andy Simon is not who you think he is. If you heard his music described as folk- rock, and you knew that this singer-songwriters first album was a solo-acoustic effort, you might expect to meet a gentle soul ready to play some sweet tunes about pretty girls with damaged psyches. But Simon is up to much more than that. The lyrics of this sharp-tongued, New Jersey native and former stand-up comedian, can display a candor that is right on the edge of crude. But just when you think that's all there is, Simon will turn around and disarm you with deep insight or a song of romantic sincerity. ..
