ANDY WAHLBERG - Andy was
born in Witchita Falls, Texas. He grew up in Miami, Florida where he was first
exposed to classical, pop and international music. He had his first "gig" at age
five with a Calypso Latin band that performed at his mother's restaurant in
Miami every weekend. Andy played the bongos while wearing a little Ricky Ricardo
suit, puffy sleeves and all.
Andy struck out on his own at age 14, traveling across the country while
teaching himself to play guitar. During that time he honed his craft playing
venues all over the United States. He started playing his trademark Harp-Guitar
which he found in a pawn shop in Los Angeles in the early '70's. After studying
at a performing arts college for two years, he began a full time career as an
entertainer.
Since then, Andy’s musical career has spanned over 25 years, more than 3000
concerts and performances nationwide, 4 albums and hundreds of television and
radio appearances. Andy has performed on stage with groups such as Chicago,
Spyra Gyra, Firefall, Hall and Oates, Don McLean and the Spinners. In his own
recording studio he has created soundtracks and scores for numerous television,
radio and movie projects. His most recent works include the soundtrack for the
PBS Special Florida’s Historic Lighthouses and the motion pictures "Captiva" and
"Jericho".
Andy is married and has 2 children. He performs in concerts and clubs in the US
and abroad. Andy currently resides in Southwest Florida.
