Andrew D. Huber is a Celtic folk-rock troubadour that has been cultivating his unique brand of "acoustic folk-rock with a Celtic twist" for the better part of the last two decades. His songs are sharply arranged, smartly performed, and expertly hit the “tug-of-war-of-life” note the songwriter is known to angle toward. Andrew has released two albums with the Gecko Club, and six solo outings, including the latest 'Chasing Time', released on St. Patrick's Day, 2021. Fiercely proud of his midwestern songwriting roots, Andrew also has a penchant towards Celtic music, as evident in his melodic phrasing and lyrical strength of his songs. Andrew D. Huber is widely regarded as an engaging live performer, and regularly plays shows and tours throughout the Great Lakes area of the U.S. He has also extended his shows to the New England area. Andrew is also the frontman of guitar-pop powerhouse the Gecko Club, who have been performing in the Midwest for over 25 years. For reservations, call 1-815-776-0707 or visit www.opentable.com.
