“Andy Z has such an easy repartee with the kids. His high energy and clever songs keep the children
excited and engaged from beginning to end. I loved looking around the room and seeing the kids' faces
light up when each new song would kick in.”

Andy Z has performed a number of times at the library and for various city events and always puts on a fantastic show. He and I have performed together for an event the last couple of years where a number of preschools come together for a morning of music and stories and I have just as much fun as the preschoolers in watching Andy perform. The kids love his songs and the interaction he mixes in to keep them involved. I highly recommend Andy who I describe as‘the hardest working man in preschool music’ whenever I introduce him because he puts everything he has into every show. Book him!

Thank you for the great performances at the Belmont Greek Festival. You were even more fantastic than ever! What a great entertainer and storyteller you are! I think the songs, the voices, characters, dancing, singing, and CD mixes, all make your shows unique and outstanding. So different and so much more than your basic "guitarist-singer" children's entertainer, they can get boring for adults after a few songs. Your shows will never be boring! I think you are a "singing storyteller." And with your CD mixes, you practically have your whole band with you, too. They were great shows. Eva Canellos, Program Coordinator
Thank you very much for performing at San Ramon’s Front Row Theater on January 26th, 2007. It was wonderful to have such an energetic and talented artist perform here in San Ramon.The performance went very smooth and I received very positive feedback from audience members who saw the show. Thanks again! Sarah Skotvold, Cultural Arts Coordinator
On behalf of the City Of Campbell, we want to express our thanks to you for providing a wonderful day of entertainment at our 2006 Summer Concert Series. We are delighted to have you with us once again- Andy Z has been a huge hit with the children in Campbell. Clearly, the children that gathered that day were having a truly wonderful time and loved your music Jeannette Watson, Mayor
Andy Z is a local hero to many children around the Bay Area because he inspires. He inspires kids to be creative, he inspires kids to imagine and most importantly; he inspires kids to have fun while being themselves! Nothing makes my heart quite as happy as watching tons of little kids running and screaming around when their favorite musician, Andy Z, comes to perform for them. Andy Z's upbeat songs with their catchy lyrics, can only bring smiles to people's faces- young and old. Ashley Farabee, student, College Of San Mateo (taken from her “Local Heros” speech)
Hi Andy - A note to say how much my friend, her little girl, and I enjoyed your (Community School Of Music & Art) show on Saturday. What I really appreciated was the respect that you gave the kids – that no matter what they shouted out (or how well it related to what you were doing), you made them feel that what they contributed was of value – that it was either clever or funny. This kind of confirmation makes the kids more likely to interact, which is so much more fun for them. I loved how involved the audience was the entire time. I think your ability to connect with your audience is a gift, and, I have never seen my friend's little girl's face light up like that in all her years. Mary Templet, Mountain View, CA
