Some history...
Upon moving to Vancouver from Calgary eons ago, Andy's talent was sought after by many original and Top 40 bands. Salute, The Frank Ludwig (of Trooper fame) Band, Heatwave - to name a few. Andy soon became a favorite in the industry and performed in larger rooms with show bands such as Randy "Elvis" Friskie and Les Vogt's Legends of Rock and Roll. Taking on the challenge of Musical Director, these polished and elaborate stage productions performed to sold out crowds throughout Canada and The Western States, playing venues such as the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto and numerous sold out shows at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver.
