Andy Wrba
Andy Wrba was destined for a career in music. His parents brought the best of New York City and the beautiful Berkshires of western Massachusetts to Andy, weaving an early appreciation for music into his young life. Starting at age 13 on his mom’s acoustic guitar, Andy soon joined his dad jamming to the blues on the family piano. Acknowledging the special place that music had found in his life, he soon bought his first electric guitar and electric bass. Since that time, there’s been no looking back.
Andy went on to play it all; jazz, rock, funk, and soul – nothing was off limits. By the time college rolled around, there was no doubt that Andy would pursue advanced studies in music. He received his degree in Jazz Studies from Westfield State College in 2011, where he also met Wayno, Barefoot Truth’s keyboardist, for the first time.
In his spare time, Andy can generally be found in one of the four places he counts among his favorites in the world; his grandparent’s apple orchard, Tanglewood (the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra), a soccer field or New York City.
Asked for thoughts on his Barefoot Truth experience, Andy said, “I met Will, Jay, and Garrett at the Iron Horse Music Hall in January 2006 and soon after I joined the Truth full time. Since then, they have all become like brothers to me. My favorite part about Barefoot Truth is the family quality that we all share with each other, our friends, families, and fans. It’s been amazing how the five of us have grown together and have met some truly wonderful people along the way.”
