Andy Baylor was born in Melbourne  and is a much-respected and influential Australian musician known for his multi-instrumental skills, songwriting and versatility.  Andy’s early life was spent living in the small Victorian mountain town of Healesville  Early lessons on violin and singing in church choirs led Andy to an interest in music which blossomed in the late 1960’s with the Beatles, Dylan and other rock music icons. His interests moved past mainstream rock’n’roll and pop music when he was introduced to records by Lightnin’ Hopkins, Fats Waller, Django Reinhardt and other legendary blues,folk and jazz artists of the “pre-Beatles world”.

“When I heard these musicians, I knew there was something else, something deeper than the pop music on the radio. This happened pretty quickly for me and by the early 1970’s I was immersing myself in the roots of popular music and flying an ‘alternative’ flag”
