Michael Andrew has always loved swing music. In1990, he formed "The
Michael Andrew Orchestras" with the goal of
providing timeless music in the
style of the big bands of the forties and in the tradition of popular singers
like Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. In 1993, the world famous Rainbow Room in
New York City invited Michael to become their headlining singer and band leader
where he performed 5 to 6 nights a week for over two years. In the summer of ‘96
audiences and critics raved about his "hi-fi, sci-fi" musical comedy, Mickey
Swingerhead & The Earthgirls, which was produced in Orlando, Florida.
In 1998, Andrew created his dynamic band known as Swingerhead. Even though they
had an extensive touring schedule, Swingerhead was considered the house band at
Rat Pack’s on the Avenue in Orlando.
Michael Andrew and the band performed with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra to
a sold out crowd and received several standing ovations. In 2000, Andrew
formed his Los Angeles based band, The Coconut Club
Orchestra. They performed at the Coconut Club in Merv Griffin’s Beverly Hilton
every Saturday night. His Orlando based band, Swingerhead continues to perform
throughout Central Florida and the nation and in October of 2001, they won the
Best Band award in the
category of "Jazz, Lounge and Swing" for the 4th year in a row. Michael
Andrew can be seen leading his band in the opening scene of the MGM motion
picture "Heartbreakers" starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sigourney Weaver, and
Gene Hackman.
Michael enjoys working with his own bands as well as making frequent guest
artist appearances with symphonic orchestras across the country.
