Andy Zamenes, is a multiple award-winning singer, songwriter, arranger, scriptwriter, and voting member of NARAS (Grammy® Awards) from the San Francisco Bay Area - most recognized as family music recording artist and performer Andy Z
Andy's music has been heard on NBC's Today Show and his music and performances have been featured in the Pandora Video Series and on the Pottery Barn Kids Stylehouse website. Notable performances include performing with his band at the renowned Austin City Limits Music Festival in Texas, San Francisco Symphony's 4th Of July Spectacular at Shoreline Amphitheater, Facebook presents Scare On The Square in Northern California, and Strings Music Festival in Colorado.
Being "Andy Z" has empowered and enabled Andy to make music his full-time career - one that has thus far produced 8 albums and 11 singles & EP's, a full-length video, and multiple awards (including NAPPA, Parent's Choice Foundation, Disney Online iParenting Media), and the Andy Z (Children's) Pandora Radio channel with 280,000 listeners. But it did not leave much time for Andy to be "Andy Zamenes". In the late 2010's, he did release the single El Camino (2016), made a music video featuring the acoustic version, and performed a handful of shows with his acoustic group Andy's Alter Ego.
When the global pandemic hit, artists including Andy, whose live in-person performances make up the majority of their income, took a big hit. His performance schedule dwindled, and he scrambled to keep from having to give up his career in music. But when the world started opening up again, he was able to reflect on the past year plus, and see the silver lining. The extra time has allowed him to do a creative reset - get back in the studio, start recording again, and get into a place where he can once again express all of his creativity, including releasing new music as "Andy Zamenes".
His new single Ride (2021) and official music video, was released July 4th, 2021 and officially released on February 25th, 2022 the EP album "Tinman Revisited" featuring re-imagined, remixed, remastered versions of the most prominent EP in the "power trio" era of the band. Two single versions of tracks from the new album, Lost and Found and Awake, have been released ahead of the official release - and the music video for "Awake" is forthcoming.
Also on the horizon is a new single release and a new Andy Zamenes EP titled "Emergence", and a new full-length Andy Zamenes album "Drawbridge".
Now is a great time for all of us to reflect on our past, and rediscover ourselves and the world around us. And it's the perfect time to announce "Andy Zamenes" is back!
