Primal Point's unique, world influenced sound consisting of intricate, rhythmic variations, improvisation and "soul"fully inspired melodies with a strong, positive message began with the writing and arranging of singer/guitarist, Andy Sperandeo and has transformed into a very powerful trio (and occasionally a quartet) exploring the boundaries of musical expression.
With the addition of such accomplished and well studied musicians as Chris McGuire on drums and Tim Perry on percussion, the individual has given way to this truly collaborative experience. Andy and Chris have studied jazz at the prestigious University of North Texas and bring many years of experience and a mastery over a wide variety of musical styles. You can hear the influence in the haunting, altered tunings, the multi odd-time signatures and through the experimentation of tonality from time to time. Yet there is still this strong pull towards natural simplicity through hard hitting groove tunes and thoughtful melodies.
There is a positive stand for humanity as well in the lyrics of each song. You can get an idea of that message from song titles such as: “Patience”, Faith”, “Honesty”, “In the Moment of Now”, etc., and from their current CD release entitled, “Inspire”.
Being of the Baha’i Faith, Andy Sperandeo is extremely interested in creating and being a part of service projects around the world. He has performed for and been apart of many worth while causes such as the Dallas Life Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes, Food For Hunger Organizations and Medi Send (Medical distributor to countries in need). He has also volunteered feeding the homeless and performing at retirement facilities on a short tour through West Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California promoting the oneness of humanity. He collaborated w/ friends of different faiths in New Orleans volunteering with the rebuilding process. Most recently volunteering w/ Habitat for Humanity.

1. To have a close relationship with someone. - "Carlos and I have been tight ever since high school."
2. Cool, hip, fashionable - "Did you see his new apartment?...It's tight!"
3. the mood or spirit between members of a musical group who are having a particularly excellent performance. "They rocked that place out, it was super funky and the band was tight, man. We were all feelin' it."
