I also play with Matt Brown and on occasion with Eric Hutchins in our duo -Monkeyfinger. You can also see me perform in central Florida at various location with the cover band The Johnny Shameless Project .

Each person who ever was or is or will be has a song. It isn't a song that anybody else wrote. It has it's own melody, it has its own words. Very few people get to sing their own song. Most of us fear that we cannot do it justice with our voices ot that our words are too foolish or too honest or too odd. So people live their songs instead. -Neil Gaiman///

Growing up in a home with a lot of music set the stage for Andrew's lifelong obsession with music.
His First instrument was the trumpet in the third and fourth grade.
By fifth grade he had moved on to piano and spent almost three years taking private piano lessons.
In middle school, Andrew picked up the guitar and never looked back. Andrew has now been playing the guitar for over twenty years. Now a staple on the Brevard acoustic music scene, Andrew can been seen playing his eclectic blend of pop, rock, folk and jazz all over the county. Last year he played over ninety shows in the Central Florida area and the Bahamas. Andrew is available as a solo act, a duo or with The Johnny Shameless Project for private parties, public events, weddings, bars and restaurants.
Andrew is also the lead guitarist for Simone, an original modern rock project that is currently touring Florida to support it's most recent CD.
