Imagine sitting around a beach fire in the Maritimes, ready to play some songs with s'mors and a beer, when out of nowhere a back-up band appears. Funky drummer, slappa-da-bass, guitar ranging from heavy chunk to groovy vibe to atmospheric, the occasional Celtic mandolin. And your back-up singers are straight from the realm of musical theatre. Add to this 25 years-plus of playing experience, and you just may get a sense of what Andrew brings to the table. A Caper by birth, Andrew has been involved in the performing arts since he picked up his first set of drumsticks at the age of 10. He’s a graduate of the Canadian College of Performing Arts in Victoria, BC, was musical director/ performer for Grafton St. Dinner Theatre and a substitute drum instructor for the Canadian Conservatory. Recordings of Andrew's solo work include This is my Theory (2005), the Punch Bowl Sessions EP (2007), and What It Is, Too (2012). Acts that Andrew has backed up on drums (and sometimes guitar and bass) both live and in the studio include:Frisky Biscuit, Jon Matheson, Kate Proctor, Tequila, Risyn, Kevin MacDonald, Paula Danyluk, Dammien Alexander, Vagrant Hitchhiker, Sourdough Symphony, Troy"Junior" Arsenault (Wheeler), Ian Sherwood, Nic Swales, Cash Only (Johnny Cash Tribute), Dark Horse, and GreenHorn. Andrew currently plays bass with Barnaby Jones, GreenHorn, and Black Gold Victim, and plays drums with The Outlaws and Wee Boy Pretty.
