Bio: Keyboardist/composer Andy Roberts comes from a diverse musical background. Teenage years were spent practicing by day and playing in country/rock bands at VFW's & biker bars by night. Other memories include creating keyboard parts for Black Sabbath tunes in his brothers band, and listening to Oscar Peterson and Keith Emerson. Getting further inspired by the challenges of jazz, Roberts attended and graduated from Berklee College of Music, Boston Mass. He has since pursued a wide array of musical careers as a performer, arranger and music director. Even with all the musical diversity, Roberts has retained a single vision of his own music. Lyrical, enhanced with some self-made harmonic explorations and embellished with jazz/rock oriented improvisations. The Andy Roberts Group is made up of like-minded musicians who can musically "turn on a dime". They move from high energy burns to utter spaciousness and everywhere in-between at any given performance. Roberts released his first CD last year called "Under the Radar".

Quote: “Andy’s performance during his live trans-atlantic broadcast from Avatar studios in New York to national radio in Iceland proved him to be a true professional and a superb artist”
