HAPPY 5 YEARS ANDY!Huge milestone for Andy with being the longest running drummer and overall other member that this band has ever had. Since relocating in August 2016 from Michigan to New Hampshire to join us we’ve done nothing but go at it 100%. I can say with no reluctance this guy is an true-bred lifer. He’s built as tough as they come and is not afraid to go all-in on anything we’ve ever done. This is the attitude that successful people in this world have. In the past five years he's done numerous national & international tours, just laid down drums for our 5th LP (before the 4th even comes out!) and he's become an endorsed drummer by Soultone Cymbals, attackdrumheads, SJC Custom Drums & The London Drumstick Co.
Outside of our regular touring he works nonstop to support his lifestyle on the road and commonly works overnights. Sometimes 24-36 hour shifts. Legitimately the hardest working person I know. Oh, did I mention he’s a great drummer?! We’ve been friends since long before he was in this band and I already knew he was a good player. But since coming out here I’ve seen a transformation. All the fine detail in the twice a week rehearsal, all the tour dates, the studio time. He’s become something even more extraordinary. It’s been really cool to watch and listen to that unfold.
Actions speak way louder than words and that is why I trust this dude as my main man, a brother, and a rock-solid bandmate. We’ll continue to be by each other’s side out there and have a blast doing it. The time has flown by so fast. The next 5 years is going to be the most interesting landscape for the band to date. We’re really excited to jump into the next chapter. It’s nice to have a true friend to do that with. Congratulations Andy on 5 years! Here’s to many, many ahead…….
