Andrew North and the Rangers are small-town friends brought together by an adventurous approach to music. The group spans different ages, hometowns, and musical backgrounds, but they hit it off quickly at local open-mic nights. Over more than 5 years together they have honed their craft, drawing from the technical fireworks of classic rock, the spontaneity of jazz, the light-hearted fun of the jam scene, and even the intricate passages of classical composition. Their debut album, Phosphorescent Snack, showcases their genre-bending style and whimsical sense of humor. It’s a reminder that amazing things can come from unlikely places.  They’ve played in support of Vertical Horizon, Firefall, Marcus Rezak’s Shred is Dead, Rootless, and Huntertones, among others.

• Andrew North: keyboards, vocals
• Randy Hunneyman: percussion
• Rob O’Brien: saxophone, Roland Aerophone
• Jillian Rork: saxophone
• Chip Spangler: bass, vocals
• Dale Grant: drums, vocals
