Andrew moved to Athens in 1996 for graduate work in Science. His love for music drew him into a variety of Athens bands including world-grass band Calliope Fair, rock band the Ohms, and bluegrass band a Real Nice Time, where he was dubbed the Carolina Heatwave. Andrew joined the Packway Handle Band in the summer of 2003 just in time for an incredible trip to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado. He has been playing with the band ever since.

He plays a 150-200 year old Austrian violin made by the Thier family which he strings with Evahpirazzi strings.
