Biography
Heavily influenced by the Beatles, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, John Lennon and the Grateful Dead, much of Andrew's music has an acoustic folk backbone with an electric rock overlay and is laced with accompanying and background harmony vocals. Andrew's style has elements of the Beatles, John Lennon, and Pink Floyd.
In addition to his more conventional songs about life and love, Andrew is determined to play songs for people who still care about our less fortunate fellow citizens, are fed up with the unfettering of big business at the expense of the public, are tired of having our environment compromised so the rich can get richer, are tired of being lied to and led into an illegal war for oil, and still have the dream of a solid decent America that is strong at home and respected around the world. Like many, many people, Andrew does support the troops, but NOT the war.
Andrew's songs "Smokescreen" and "Save the USA" have been listed among the TOP 10 SONGS OF THE TIMES on Neil Young's, "Living With War Today" website.

Andrew's music has been described, "Each song tells a story, but the words don’t get in the way of the foot-stomping driving rhythm of the electrifying acoustic guitar sound. Andrew’s searing electric guitar is the main course, served up on a bed of acoustic guitar, with a side of lush harmonies. With solid roots in folk, blues, and classic rock, Bayuk’s music draws a surprisingly hip and diverse audience. He has been compared to the Beatles and John Lennon, with a modern rock feel. Andrew’s recent appearance on the TV entertainment show Deco Drive highlighted one of his recent 4 awards in the American Idol Underground online music contests".
