Born in Murray, Kentucky and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Andy Tanas has worked with a Who’s Who list of American musical giants.

In 1975 Andy toured as part of an audio crew with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker, Outlaws, Wet Willy, Charlie Daniels, Climax Blues Band, Status Quo, Peter Frampton, .38 Special, Jerry Lee Lewis and many others.

After hearing some of Andy's vocals and songs, Gary Rossington and Ronnie Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd encouraged him to give up the audio end and pursue playing and songwriting more seriously. 

In 1977, he joined Black Oak Arkansas as a bassist, vocalist and songwriter. Black Oak signed with Capricorn Records and released "Race With The Devil" in 1977 and "I'd Rather Be Sailing" in 1978. Two songs of Andy's appeared on "I'd Rather Be Sailing": You Keep Me Waiting and Innocent Eyes. Constant touring kept him busy until January of 1980 when the band disbanded. At that point the line-up included 15-year old guitar genius, Shawn Lane.

In 1980, Andy relocated to Los Angeles and worked with various local bands including Legs Diamond, Shandra Beri, Marcus Malone, Chuck Gerard, Michael Monarch and Jon Hyde of Detective as well as others. Local bands and recording sessions kept him busy off and on until 1983.

He was offered the bassist/background vocalist slot with Swiss hard rockers Krokus in 1984. Performed in four videos including the MTV concert video that year, toured the U.S., Canada, South America and Europe until leaving the band in 1985 because of direction differences.

He released a four song EP in 1989 that he wrote, produced and financed, which received good reviews as well as airplay on college radio, mostly in the southeast. It was a mix of hard rock with a lot of country influence that for 1989 was a little ahead of its time.

In 1991, he formed The Rompers, a rocking country band that showcased his material and vocal style. They played all over the L.A. and Orange County area and opened for Commander Cody, Mark Collie and others until he relocated back to Memphis in May of 1993.

In 1995 he completed an eight-song demo that caught the attention of some labels and publishing companies in Nashville. Although it was crudely recorded, the vocal style and songwriting stood out enough that they asked for more songs.

In 1997 he released "Memphis Boy vs The Eight Track From Hell". A hybrid mix of country and rock with different subject matter. This led to meeting Stu Baker with Hayden’s Ferry Records in Arizona. He was invited to be on the "Jukebox Cantina" compilation with fourteen other artists including The Ignitors, Dan Israel, Grievous Angels and Ronnie Glover. "Jukebox Cantina" charted well and received favorable reviews worldwide giving Andy notice for his cut You Gotta Love Her.

In 2002 he finished production on "Songs From The New South" using Cody Dickinson (North Mississippi All Stars) and Robert Barnett (Big Ass Truck) on drums, Bryan Ward (Bonepony) on mandolin, Kyle Jones (Sting, Phil Keagy, Ricky Skaggs) percussion, Eddie Dunbar (Blue Healers) background vocals and Gretchen Priest on violin/fiddle. Veteran engineer Voytek Kochanek, who’s worked with Ozzy, Steve Vai, Chaka Khan, Janet Jackson and Peter Frampton, engineered and co-produced. SFTNS took four years to record and according to most critics is probably the most unique approach to this genre yet.

Since 2005, he’s been solo acoustic and on the road 120 shows a year roughly 600 miles a week regionally in Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and Missouri. Expect a very diverse setlist and some twists and turns on familiar song favorites.
