Born on June 26, 1963 in Evansville, Indiana to Marilyn Timmons and Jean Timmons, one of rock’s greatest guitarists was born: Andy Timmons.

Andy got his start with the late 80s-early 90s hair metal band Danger Danger. His other projects

include Pawned Kings and The Andy Timmons Band. Andy picked up a guitar at a very young

age. He had his first band at age 13. He realized making it as a rockband was a long-shot. He

read about session players such as Larry Carlton and Steve Lukather of Toto and realized session

playing would be much better since he had such a wide variety in musical taste. Many artist have

had the pleasure of having Andy in studio sessions. Such as Kip Winger, Paula Abdul, Paul

Stanley, and Olivia Newton-John, who he is currently the guitarist for. After studying classical

guitar for two years, Andy went to the University of Miami to study jazz guitar. He went to

Dallas, Texas shortly after where The Andy Timmons Band had quite a following. Sony

recording artists Danger Danger recruited Andy to help finish their debut album and film some

videos. After touring, recording and just having fun with Danger Danger for four years, Andy

returned to North Texas to further pursue his solo act. He released seven albums after his

triumphant return, all of which were successful. He has been ranked incredibley high in many

music polls, has been voted “Musician of the Year” for the past four years by Dallas Observer

Music Awards, has been compared to such artists as Jimi Hendrix, Steve Vai, Matthew

Johnson, Kenny Wayne Sheppard and Eric Johnson and is one of the most distinguished and

sought after clinicians representing Ibanez. But Andy’s favorite accomplishment is one of his

most recent, when his son Alexander Julian Timmons was born on March 11, 2004. Andy

Timmons is a great musician and father.
