He writes songs with substance\, filled with themes of hills and valleys\, flying machines and messy cars\, chances almost taken\, wonder\, addiction\, rebirth…and most of all…hope. He presents his songs live on a number of instruments\, including guitar\, dobro\, octave mandolin\, and even bass. Engaging and witty\, humorous and thought provoking…with a keen sense for writing irresistible sing-along refrains…an evening with Andy’s music will leave you with a fuller heart and a hopeful gaze to the horizon.
