About Me:

Andy Peake got “hooked” on playing drums at the age of 13 and immediately became a performer, playing drum solos in his high school assemblies. He was quickly snatched up by college student bands in the small town of Maryville, MO where he attended high school and entered Northwest Missouri State University on a music scholarship. Years of playing in local and touring bands eventually led him to Nashville where he was called to join the band for pop/country artist Nicolette Larsen of “It’s Gonna Take a Lot of Love” fame. After getting acclimated to the Nashville music scene, he soon lent his talents as a drummer to Tanya Tucker, Don Williams, Delbert McClinton, Lee Roy Parnell, Kathy Mattea, and many other major label artists. He has toured the entire US and British Isles and has performed on the Conan O’Brien Show and at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. He has appeared locally on many stages including the Nashville Schermerhorn Symphony Auditorium and the Ryman Auditorium where he has twice been a member of the critically acclaimed stage production of the “Always Patsy Cline” band and acting troupe. He also has performed as a member of the Nashville Chamber Orchestra backing up artists including Amy Grant.

Andy now performs as a regular member of the “Nashtones” band and works as a producer/engineer at his own “Biglittle Recording” studio where he has produced numerous band and songwriter CDs and Demos.
