Andrew Weiss & Friends

Long Island's Andrew Weiss and Friends have made a name for themselves since their debut LP arrived in 2018 with their unique blend of Laurel Canyon folk rock and the sonic flourishes of late-70s power pop. Singer-songwriter Andrew Weiss clings to and cherishes moments of intimacy, difficult conversations, and emotional currency through his songwriting. A classic glow silhouettes Weiss’s storytelling, fusing a smart, throwback warmth and charm right into the work.

The band has stayed busy since The Honeymoon Suite was released in 2018 with three more LPs (plus one on the way), three EPs, and a handful of standalone singles. They have sold out multiple shows at famed Long Island venue My Father's Place and have performed alongside Counting Crows and Rob Thomas at The Outlaw Roadshow Festival. In recent years, Andrew Weiss and Friends were highlights at the 2021 Mondo Festival, the 2022 Underwater Sunshine Festival, and in 2023 they headlined the MLB Washington Nationals’ Grateful Dead Night to a sold out crowd of thousands.

The band's moniker honors music’s essential pairing with camaraderie (something we could all use more of these days). Weiss’s astute observations on love, life, and happiness — and how those things may have shifted in recent years — are vital reminders that music is, at the end of the day, a healing agent for us all.
