Hopalong Andrew sings clever and whimsical cowboy songs about city life. His performances involve multiple instruments and lassos and are so much fun that he has been asked to play a variety of venues such as Brooklyn Bridge Park, Prospect Park, New York & Brooklyn Public Libraries, Oldtone Music Festival, Lancaster Fair, and more. Hopalong Andrew adapts and parodies classic folk and country songs to celebrate the city, it’s people, and nature, while paying homage to the singing cowboys and novelty musicians of yesteryear. Born in Manhattan, he is a former NYC Park Ranger (stationed at the castle in Central Park), and prior to that is best known by some as a member of indie-turned-celebrity rock-band-of-sorts The Honey Brothers. If you love living in – or visiting – a big city, his music is for you. And besides, Who else will lasso you a cab while playing the William Tell Overture on harmonica? His debut album, “Howdy Do – Songs of the Urban Cowpoke,” comes out in 2018.
