Andrew Sandoval

Come To The Sunshine presenter Andrew Sandoval is a songwriter, musician, producer, author and cat lover. Over the course of his program's two year history, he has broadcast more than 50 concept radio programs focussing on the music of the 1960's, featuring nearly 2,000 songs from 550 or so artists (but who is counting).

Under the moniker "andrew," Sandoval has issued five albums (From Me To You, 33, Happy To Be Here, What’s It All About and A Beautiful Story) and two EPs (Happily Ever After and Million Dollar Movie) and a single called "Dream About You." Of his music, Shredding Paper noted: "Andrew Sandoval's brand of orchestral pop is so damn good it's amazing that he isn't some sort of huge indie star."

As a reissue producer, Andrew has worked on releases by The Bee Gees, The Beach Boys, The Kinks, The Monkees, The Band, Elvis Costello, Left Banke, Love, Pretty Things, Elton John, The Troggs, Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders, P.F. Sloan, The Everly Brothers, Manfred Mann, Boyce & Hart, Three Dog Night, The Zombies, Gene Clark, Tom Jones, Roger McGuinn, The Hollies, Blues Magoos, Beau Brummels, The Turtles and the Easybeats.

Sandoval authored the critically acclaimed 2005 book The Monkees: the day by day story of the ‘60s TV pop sensation and has recorded and toured with Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Dave Davies (of the Kinks). Being a LuxuriaMusic DJ is just the icing on the cake.
