Andi and George are singer/songwriters that found each other in Canberra in May, 2006. They are happy souls who love to make music, dance, eat good food and encourage other musicians and performers to get involved!
The duo have now traded their University degrees for the opportunity to travel the country making music and spreading good vibes from their Tour bus this Winter and beyond! Their next album, SUN AND MOON, independently recorded and produced, will be launched with an East Coast tour at THE FRONT CAFE on Thursday 29th May that will take the 19 strong crew up to the Dreaming Festival in Woodford and as far North as possible in search of adventures, music, and good times.
THE ANDI AND GEORGE BAND make all kinds of music. Soul, funk, reggae, samba, folk, jazz, blues and rock. Spontaneous gigs and high energy performances by all of the musicians make for a colourful crew set to get you up and dancing! Depending on the size of the gig, the numbers in the band can range from just andi and george, to a massif line up of 15 people +!!!

KAVA PARTY FUNDRAISER 06
Thanks to all who came to the fundraiser held at the Front Cafe in Lyneham last december. We all had kava and shared a fijian meal lovo style and raised $700.
The money was used to purchase a generator and a drum of petrol for the teachers and children at BABASEA PRIMARY SCHOOL, in Andi's village of Levukaidaku, Matuku island, Lau. Fiji. The school was extremely pleased with the donation and invited Andi and George for a concert at the school which included Fijian meke and a giant pot of tea and delicious cakes for the whole school. We would like to pass on their thanks to all of you!
