Mel Steinberg, sax, and Jeff Stern, drums, are both stellar, seasoned musicians who have performed and toured with major artists. Mel has performed or recorded with Stevie Wonder, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, The Beach Boys, Paul Revere and the Raiders, Little Anthony & The Imperials, Joe Williams, & others, and has performed at the Hard Rock Cafe'. Jeff has performed or recorded with Debbie Allen, Tony Bennett, Sammy Davis Jr., Neil Diamond, Dave Koz, The Temptations, Della Reese, Peter Yarrow, and many others.

Nailing the sound and intelligence of Sinatra and Tony Bennett like no other group out there, Andy's groups are more than a Frank Sinatra tribute band, and succeed by making the music their own. For swinging interpretations of the classic American Songbook and jazz standards, scatting, comedic parodies, tasty originals, and even a blues rendition of an Oscar-winning Dylan tune, club and special event audiences seek out this group and keep coming back for more.
