ABOUT

     Andy Roberts has been active in the Central Pa music scene for decades, and by age 15 he was gigging with rock and country bands at local clubs.  Upon discovering Oscar Peterson and Dave Brubeck, he became further inspired by the challenges of jazz, and after receiving the Joe Zawinul scholarship, enrolled in Berklee College of Music, Boston Massachusetts, graduating in 1989.

     Currently, Roberts maintains a busy schedule of performing, writing and music directing. As a freelance jazz pianist, he has had the opportunity to perform with many great musicians from the tri-state area (many of which he brings to The Allen Theatre!) and through all the musical diversity, Roberts strives to approach all musical challenges with a sense of conviction, respect of the genre and an adventurous spirit .
