About Big Andy

My name is Andy Zupke and I’ve been playing music for 10 years. I’ve experienced many up’s and down’s in the local music scene of Milwaukee, and have made and recovered from numerous mistakes. My goal for this blog is to help struggling musicians like yourself avoid making the mistakes that I, and millions of other musicans, have made. I have a BA in English from UW-Milwaukee and am intensely passionate about local music and musicians. I’m also a voracious reader and have read several books about the music industry and life as a musician.

The name Big Andy started as an inside joke, taken from this incredible, amazing, underappreciated, and canceled-too-soon show:

And it’s pretty much escalated to the point where that’s how almost everybody knows me in Milwaukee.
