Born May 24th, 1957, NYC. I received a Bachelor of
Music degree with a Major in Theory & Composition
from Denison University in 1979, moved to Boston &
have gigged throughout New England since then. I
play jazz, country, R&B, Brasilian, blues, pop &
classical music. My main instrument is the guitar,
but I also perform on the violin & electric bass.
Some bands I've been in are: Traces, the Sun Moun-
tain Band, the John Payne Band, the Back Roads Band,
Fountainhead, the Boogaloo Swamis, Luxury Liner,
the Mark Snyder Quartet, the Delgados, Tulsa Queen,
Ray Cross & the Country Heartbeats, & of course,
Andy Solberg & Friends.
I'll play my Gibson ES-150 on jazz gigs, my '68
Telecaster on country dates, a Stratocaster for
almost anything, & my '80 Ibanez Artist for fusion
style tunes. My Esteve nylon string guitar gets
used for Brasilian & classical genres. I play my
electrics thru either an early 60's Fender Deluxe
Reverb or an early 70's Fender Super Reverb. I play
a Peavey T-40 electric bass. I also play mandolin,
piano, drums, recorder, & have been known to play
the trumpet & trombone in my church.I made my 1st
recording under my own name in 2004. It's called
"Headwaters" and may be purchased thru this site.
I now have a 2nd CD ('09) called "Live at Jaec's"
from a '06 trio date.
Email me if you'd like me to perform with or for you.
Peace, -Andy
