Bio

Andy Collins, formerly of the band Handcrash (airplay on CFOX, song 'blind' on SeedS CD, song 'Dreamer' featured in movie Wilma's Secret), is one of the finest up and coming singer/songwriters in the Canadian music scene. Drawing upon personal experience, and his own style of acoustic and electric sounds, Andy's songs are well crafted, intense, and contain a dark edge that provides the listener with a story on every line.

Influenced by such legendary acts as the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Neil Young, as well as current artists like Pete Yorn, David Gray and Beck, Andy has developed his own voice in the world of the singer/songwriter.

Andy and his band have toured Western Canada several times and have been playing shows around Vancouver at the Railway Club, the Media Club, the Backstage Lounge, the Plaza Club and Richards on Richards among others. They've been warmly received, sharing the stage with such acts as Wil -EMI recording artist, Gordie Sampson -Maple recording artist, Bocephus King, and Kevin Kane of Grapes of Wrath fame. Andy has released a 7 song EP, produced by Drew Arnott (Strange Advance, EMI) with help from Lenny DeRose (Nelly Furtado) in 2008 and is currently preparing for further touring.
