“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” a saying that may not apply to all people, but definitely applies to Andrew Strong, the son of an Irish musician and singing coach. Andrew has found success in his music-making career, both as part of a Grammy nominated band called “The Commitments” and also as a solo act. Although he mostly performs his solo acts live, he has been known to performs songs from his band days during his solo shows, and will occasionally join a Commitments tribute band performance.
Watching his live performance, you just know that he is a true born rocker. Full of passion and emotion, he performs with all he has. Joined by a backing band, which includes a live horn section, and back up singers, you just know that he feels so at home up on stage. His fans absolutely love him, and cheer so loud after songs that you almost become deaf. What I love most about his performances though, is the sheer concentration on the music. He is not one to look for all the attention and there are some opportunities of his band to take solos, which he makes sure to stand aside for.
