He was also a member of the  Chicago Brass Band for nine years,  where his playing has been reviewed as “truly outstanding, handling difficult, pianissimo high entries easily, and time and again delivering flawless, gorgeous sound and great musicality.” In addition to his work with the CBGO and CWS, Andrew finds time to perform with the Big Top Circus Band and  many other ensembles throughout the Chicago area. 

When not performing, he can often be found on his bicycle or building Lego with his two daughters.
