Sleepy Andy

2:20 PM — 2427 Lefeber Ave

Andrew Gelles, aka Sleepy Andy, is a guitarist/singer/songwriter from Wauwatosa, WI. Music took root early, as his father would play rock 'n' roll in their family home. Andy picked up the guitar around age 11, and by his mid-teens, the sounds of the blues had taken hold — Muddy, Jimi, and the "3 Kings" among others laid a path he would evolve through. Andy calls his music "funky, blue sounds" — a mix of rock, R&B, blues, and music with a groove. His guitar playing can reimagine the six-string legends of the past while still having a sound, feel, and voice all his own.
