ANDY AGUIRRE –Bass / Vocals
BIO:
Andy’s interest in music began with the trumpet in
the third grade. In the 80’s he studied
classical piano after falling in love with
electronic analog keyboards featured in music by
Peter Gabriel, Genesis and Depeche Mode. While
in college he played keyboards and guitar in a
number of cover bands including Funny bone,
Catfight, Love Muffin, Misfit Toys and by
coincidence a band also called Copycat which has
nothing to do with the Copycat of today. All
of these groups were booked by the Omnipop talent
agency or RP Productions. Andy has performed in too
many clubs and weddings to mention all over the
tri-state area from Boston, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Hunter Mountain, to the Hamptons and even the Nassau
Coliseum. After taking a brief hiatus from the
cover scene he decided he needed a change, picked up
the bass guitar and started taking lessons.
Andy always loved the bass and he has never been
happier playing any other instrument. Who says
only cats have nine lives! Since picking up
the bass he has been fortunate to play in a number
of R&B, Blues, Jazz and Reggae cover bands
including Copycat, Bounce, Soul Shack, Mama funk and
the Mud Cats, Island Grove, and the Erny Bruny band.
Presently, Andy has been writing original acoustic
songs influenced by world music. Visit http://www.myspace.com/arowanandy
