Andy Anderson
Andy is a New Zealand born – sometimes Australian resident – musician and actor. As a musician he is best known as the lead singer of 1960s Australian band The Missing Links, and as an actor he is well known for his roles on both Australian and New Zealand television and film work.
Andy’s first solo album, 2003’s If I’d Known I’d live This Long… was followed by Andersongs in 2017. He describes his solo work as “my own style is a mix of my roots. I sing rock and roll, ballads, blues, country rock, reggae.”
Both albums are available from Half A Cow’s Bandcamp, Apple iTunes and all the streaming services.
