Andy will be speaking on a CMJ Panel: “Road Warriors” - Tales from the Touring Trenches. Join us on Thursday, Nov 2, 2:30-3:30pm @ Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall.

Andy also just completed producing & mixing the song “Mr. Loverman” for the movie TRAINWRECK: My Life as an Idiot, directed by Tod Harrison Williams. The song is performed by Brookville with vocals by Gretchen Mol who is the lead in the film. The film is in post-production and is due for release some time next year.

Finally, Brookville will be taking the full band out on the road all November, co-headlining dates all over the US and Canada with French pop rock sensations Tahiti 80. Andy produced the 1st Tahiti80 album, and so this tour is a long-awaited respite for fans of hummable, strummable melodies, with class. Details here or here.
