Andrew Gavin Webber

Born: March 17, 1964

I was born in 64. picked up a guitar at the age of twelve. Been playing ever since. I currently work for a music production house making backings and laying down guitar tracks. Although I list myself as a blues - rock artist there are other styles of music that I sometimes end up writing as well. It all depends on what the song needs. I have been fortunate enough to work with a very talented singer and songwriter Natalie Northover and those songs are now also available on my site. they are featured on the album "What a sacrifice" by the band STEAM.
