As the great-grandson of Canadian big band leader, Wally Perkins, and son of a Toronto-based luthier, music has always been a ubiquitous presence in Andrew Shier’s life.
While Andrew grew up classically trained in piano, he quickly showed a talent to pick up any instrument. At the age of 13, he started recording his own original songs and in university, Andrew recorded and played every instrument on his first full length album. However, it wasn’t until his move to western Canada in 2013, where he formed the indie rock band <a href="spotify:artist:2xt2sGmcA036zAGPaHmk8n" data-name="Ten Minute Detour">Ten Minute Detour</a>, that he really found his footing as a musician. TMD has two LPs under their belt and are actively playing stages across Canada while writing new material.
In fall 2018, Andrew moved back to his Ontario roots where he first found his passion for music. Hoping to further demonstrate his abilities as a songwriter, producer and performer, Andrew released a new song every month in 2019.
In 2020, Andrew joined forces with longtime friend and bandmate <a href="spotify:artist:4uPPVmyEKCvXo86oXpM8pG" data-name="It's Hot for Everyone">It's Hot for Everyone</a> to form the alt rock duo <a href="spotify:artist:1lOJkuTuJSw2gF3vvz0FMb" data-name="Walboom">Walboom</a>, releasing their debut album on Pet Shop Records (UK).
Andrew's band <a href="spotify:artist:2xt2sGmcA036zAGPaHmk8n" data-name="Ten Minute Detour">Ten Minute Detour</a> recently released their third LP, 'Golden Tapestry', and both the band and himself are planning multiple releases for 2023.
