RIP Andy. You always supported us and we will miss you.

I don’t know where to start. Andy was more than a friend, a label manager, tour wrangler, smart ass zinger slinger, information provider, fixer but none of these really tells the tale. He is and always has been the glue that holds so many things together.

Most people knew Andy as a fan of all kinds of music, a champion of the band, up front at live shows and in the comment section of live streams. What they didn’t see was everything he did behind the scenes. The newsletters, the networking, connecting us with fans and opportunities.

He never stopped believing in us and the music and was the rock that held everything together especially when we lost JonH, Mustafa, Zeebo. This is going to be hard on so many levels. I will miss talking to you daily - dreaming all the big dreams for our little family.

RIP Andy Cerutti
