Andy GriggsSpeaker and Booking Agent Information

Andy Griggs often says his influences in music are like a pot of gumbo. Growing up in Monroe, L.A., he was raised on Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart, Waylon Jennings, Bill Monroe, hardcore blues and hardcore rock 'n' roll, sprinkled with a touch of jazz. He often says, "There is no defining a style of song. As long as there's soul, it has a place in music."

Andy moved to Nashville in 1995 after a childhood of major mountains and valleys. Music was such a huge inspiration in his young life that it helped him grieve. And he did plenty of that. His father, the praise and worship leader at their church, died from a brain tumor when Andy was 11 years old. His older brother Mason took the baton of music and ran with it. Throughout their teenage years, Mason was Andy's hero. Mason died at the young age of 21 from heart complications that he had suffered with since birth. Andy grabbed that same baton and ran with it. "When I jumped into the pool of music, I jumped into the deep end and never came out," he says.
