Andy Jaske

Andy is very excited about his new instrumental guitar album "A Nice Little Guitar Album." Love Song for You was just named a Song of the Year contest Finalist!!! The album also features two covers and eight original songs all performed with just 1 or 2 guitars. (Well, one song has finger snaps.)

Better Spent With You and Redemption were also Finalists in the Song of the Year contest while Just So Happy was a featured video on Songdoor. Andy is a Recommended Artist from the Song of the Year Songwriting contest. He was a finalist in the WYEP Singer-Songwriter Competition.

Andy’s musical career was sidetracked by earning a Ph. D. in Business Economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which led to a long career in the financial services industry. He also earned ProTools certification from the Berklee College of Music.

He also has produced a series of analysis and videos called Music Between the Numbers that examines how quantitative measures of Top 10 popular music have changed from the period 1955 to 2020, creating the Music Old School Score to rate music for its old school vs new school characteristics. You can find it on YouTube and at andyjaskemusic.com.

Andy lives with his wife Donna in Kitsap County, Washington (near Seattle). They have two wonderful and successful adult children who also live in Washington state.
