Who's that crazy tree-hugging guitarist?
Born on Earth Day with a strange urge to recycle, preserve and conserve, Andrew Kasab
creates an eclectic mix of American Primitive guitar, contemporary acoustic, funk, rock, folk,
classical, blues and world music. Andrew utilizes unconventional approaches to the guitar
including alternate tunings, percussive picking and fingering techniques.
Spreading musical love around the Earth for over 20 years, Andrew’s main focus in life has always
revolved around developing his musical skills; performing as a solo artist or in bands, working
as a sound technician or a full time music educator has given great insight into the finesse, business,
and art of music.
"It's a lot more work than most people think," (Fox 43 interview/Harrisburg, PA, Feb 2003)
and Andrew works hard to entertain audiences at any type of venue. Persistence best describes
Andrew’s solo album releases and live performances. Working without a net, flashy guitar
processing or effects, Andrew relies upon natural vibrations of metal and wood to paint
the murals of music he brushes across audiences.
As a child growing up in a musical family, his vocal and instrumental talent emerged through
the help and encouragement of his family. “I scratched up Mom’s guitar pretty bad learning
how to play the thing...oops,” (Public Access cable interview/Elon, NC 1994). His
experiences have been anything short of normal; performing for a top-level general from
Uruguay, at the White House in Washington DC, a community pool party, art galleries,
festivals, or at a fast food restaurant at Christmas time, life is full or surprises.
