About me
Hi there,
My name is Andrew and I am a singer/songwriter and guitarist from Rochester, NY.
In the summer of 2022, I released my debut album The Perfect View. It was a massive undertaking that took me nearly a year of meticulous tweaking. Prior to this album, I released my first three singles, “One Day,” “Wildflowers” (Tom Petty), and “Real at All," respectively, all throughout 2021. Finally, after a nearly four-year hiatus from releasing new material, I put out my two-song EP Love My Town / Wild in February of this year. My music blends elements of folk, blues, soft rock, and country from a wide range of artists, including Jackson Browne, Paul Simon, CSNY (together & individually), The Beatles, and Andy Shauf. If you catch me live, you can expect a split between acoustic covers of familiar classics and my own original material.
In 2018, I co-founded the band Blue Envy and have served as the lead vocalist, guitarist, and lyricist for the group. We have released three EPs, two singles, and have toured extensively throughout the Northeastern US. Our music can be described as rock with progressive tendencies, eliciting comparisons to Rush, Black Sabbath, Cream and other bands from the classic rock era. We have opened for successful touring acts, such as: The Band Feel, Thank You Scientist, Electric Six, Millington, and Deaf Poets. Patrick Hosken of Rochester's City Magazine wrote the following in 2024, “There’s excitement in how accurately Blue Envy can capture the tried-and-true electricity of some of the biggest rock bands to ever do it. That bodes well for the next stop on their journey.”
Since the summer of 2024, I have been a substitute musician in the pop band Kopps. With this group, I have served as both the guitarist and occasional bassist. Known for their captivating live sets, Kopps boasts an impressive choreography routine that has been a valuable addition to my performance repertoire. From July to August of 2024, we embarked on a 17-date tour of the United States supporting the electronic band 53 Thieves. In August of 2025, we toured the midwest opening for Boy Jr. Additionally, I have opened for the bands Bad Suns and Joywave as a part of Kopps.
