Andy Snitzer

While well known for his touring work with Paul Simon, The Rolling Stones, Billy Joel and Sting, Andy Snitzer has also built a dynamic solo career/discography, driven by his distinct and evocative saxophone style. Back in 1998, retreating to Some Quiet Place (1999) in his creative mind, Andy began writing that album, a follow up to Ties That Bind (1994) and In The Eye Of The Storm (1996), the two Warner Bros albums that put Andy on the map. After a brief hiatus from album making, in the first decade of the new century, Andy re-emerged, with 2011’s Traveler, a focused and influential work regarded as his finest. Entering a new period of creativity, Andy followed Traveler with The Rhythm (2013), American Beauty (2015), Higher (2020), A Beautiful Dream (2023), and his brand new work, Firefly (2026). “On Traveler, I learned that I’m at my creative best when I start from a specific artistic position. As you mature, you come to realize that this process is about the listener, not about you, the creator. You are the vehicle, the work is the end game.” This insight fueled Andy’s creative spirit, and allowed for the highly prolific period that’s followed, since the release of Traveler. “My career has been a fascinating journey; hard work, some good luck, all of it with my eyes and ears open. I’ve been so fortunate, to witness great artists, in their process, up close. I can’t overestimate the artistic benefit of that access, and the impact it’s had on my entire creative life.”
