Hometown: Carleton Place, Ontario

How long have you been in radio: 3 years

Why did you get into radio: It's the closest thing to being in the music biz, but with a real job!

Favourite Big Dog 92-7 Artists: Brad Paisley, Aaron Pritchett, Johnny Cash, Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson, Doc Walker, Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, Kathleen Edwards...

What's your ideal perfect vacation: Cottage at the lake!  Boats, canoes, and a case of Maclays...

Do you play any musical instruments - which ones? And if not, which one would you like to learn to play:  I'm mainly a drummer, but I've played piano for years.  I've been in a bunch of bands playing blues, classic rock, country, new rock, ska, punk, r&b, funk, etc...  and as a newcomer to the province, I'm itching to get right into the Regina music scene!

What's your favourite thing about Southern Saskatchewan:  It's incredibly friendly, and the accents make me feel at home!

Venturing halfway across the country from the small town of Carleton Place in the Ottawa Valley, Andrew had a very musical childhood with countless bands, performances, and even a homemade drum set made out of boxes.  Then, after high school where he ran a makeshift radio station in the cafeteria, he decided to dive into the real world of radio by shipping off to Fanshawe College’s Radio Broadcasting program in London, ON.   After filling the roles of producer and evening host at Astral Media Radio’s country station there, Andrew brings his fiancee Ashley, beagle Ralph, "Lanark County twang," and country roots to Sunday nights on Big Dog 92-7!
