July

Andy Hersey

Andy Hersey is an Arizona based singer/songwriter who released his third full-length album “Tell Me All About It” in 2016 on Reposado Recordings.

Songwriting has always been a part of Hersey’s life while working other trades: ranch hand, horseshoer, truck-driver, construction and raising a family on Southern Arizona ranches.

He now makes his living playing steady shows in Tucson area establishments and a road trip now and then.

“This set of songs is acoustic based and eclectic. Country rock, silly drinking songs, a love song or two, mix in a bit of broken ’spanglish’ and there you have it” says Hersey. “The goal is to have friends rather than fans and to make music a living without being in the music industry”.
