Michael Andrews is a San Diegan musician and film score composer. Also known as Elgin Park, he is the guitarist and a founding member of The Greyboy Allstars. He is touring this summer in support of his debut solo album Hand on String. Most of the time he can be found locked away in his Glendale, CA home studio, Elgonix Labs.
Those who have heard of Mike Andrews’ name (his Greyboy moniker is Elgin Park) associate him with the music of Donnie Darko, the UK Christmas #1 “Mad World”, celebrated TV show Freaks & Geeks and and Miranda July’s Me and You and Everyone We Know. He’s also credited as a producer, songwriter or composer on more than 20 albums, including those for Metric, Brendan Benson and Gary Jules.
Hand On String, in-stores June 27 on Mike’s own Elgin Park Recordings is a different kind of funk. It strays musically from The Greyboy Allstars’ West Coast jazz, funk and boogaloo. It’s deep. It’s dark (as in Nick Drake-dark). And, it’s been a long time since you’ve heard anyone this passionate about mellow. |
