Actor, singer, composer, entertainer, Michael Andrew has been performing songs from the American popular songbook since he was a young boy. For two years, he was the headline singer and bandleader at the world famous Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center in New York City.

His self-written musical comedy, MICKEY SWINGERHEAD & THE EARTHGIRLS was a hit with audiences and the press. The hit show led to the formation of his band, SWINGERHEAD, which toured throughout the country.

A favorite with celebrities, Andrew and his band performed every Saturday Night at the Coconut Club at Merv Griffin's Beverly Hilton.

Currently, Andrew performs all over the nation with his 18-Piece Big Band and smaller ensembles. He's performed as a singer and bandleader in the movies HeartBreakers with Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt and Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius with Jim Caviezil. Michael Andrew is a frequent guest artist with symphonic orchestras and continues to develop theatrical projects which showcase his comic characters and classic singing style.
