About Me


Known for lending his guitar skills to several touring and recording acts including the Jonah Smith Band, New York Ska-Jazz Ensemble and Les Nubians among others (see below), Andy Stack shows that there is much more to him than his spunky guitar playing on his new EP "Don't Stop". Recorded with long-time collaborator Jesse Kolber in a home studio in upstate NY, Andy showcases his talents as a singer/songwriter and multi-istrumentalist on this new collection of 5 new tracks.Andy plays most of the instruments on the record but left room for a few notable guests here and there including drummer Matt Johnson (Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright), singer/songwriter/pianist Jonah Smith on piano, Thad Debrock (Ari Hest, Spring Awakening) on electric guitar, and fellow singer/songwriter friends Jesse kolber, Greg Fine and Maryanne Marino singing background vocals.
"Andy Stack is more than just a singer / songwriter - he is a world-class guitarist who has written many excellent songs, which he sings in a very natural, spontaneous way. He creates a palette of sound which is both sophisticated and accessible, a type of combination only rarely seen in the likes of visionaries such as Joni Mitchell". -Cary Brown, Sloan Wainwright Band.
