ANDREW ISHEE
BIOGRAPHY
Andrew Ishee grew up playing Gospel music in church and with local Christian groups. His parents were always involved with music in their church, and this helped to foster Andrew’s interest in music. At age eight he asked his dad to show him some chords on the piano. That night Andrew prayed that God would bless him with the ability to play. Since that evening he has played piano by ear.
Andrew began playing professionally at age 16 with the Dixie Echoes, a Southern Gospel group from Pensacola, Florida. He then moved to Asheville, North Carolina to join the Kingsmen Quartet. Since then Andrew has worked with many of the top Gospel recording companies and artists producing and playing piano on countless recordings. And today the Andrew Ishee solo music tour has spanned the length and width of the United States.
In the arena of accolades: Andrew produced Palmetto State Quartet’s first “number one” charting Gospel song. He has been a featured columnist for America’s largest Gospel Music publication, The Singing News Magazine, and is honored by the Gospel Music Association as a Hall of Fame inductee for his association with the Kingsmen Quartet. Andrew was voted by the readers of The Singing News Magazine as one of Gospel Music’s Favorite Musicians for ten consecutive years. The Southern Gospel Music Association has also recognized Andrew as one of the top five pianists in America.
Andrew’s network television appearances include INSP, TBN, The Nashville Network, CMT, GMT, Sky Angel, CBN, and World Harvest TV. Andrew has performed on the Grand Old Opry television broadcast, and at the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Andrew has certainly played for large audiences, but for large and small venues alike Andrew says “There are two great things about what I get to do: Music and People. And I love them both.”
