notes

Michael Andrew has always loved swing music. In1990, he formed "The Michael Andrew Orchestras" with the goal of providing timeless music in the style of the big bands of the forties and in the tradition of popular singers like Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra.

In 1993, the world famous Rainbow Room in New York City invited Michael to become their headlining singer and band leader where he performed 5 to 6 nights a week for over two years. In the summer of '96 audiences and critics raved about his "hi-fi,sci-fi" musical comedy, Mickey Swingerhead & The Earthgirls, which was produced in Orlando, Florida.

In 1998, Andrew created his dynamic band known as Swingerhead. Even though they had an extensive touring schedule, Swingerhead was considered the house band at Rat Pack's on the Avenue in Orlando. Michael Andrew and the band performed with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra to a sold out crowd and received several standing ovations.

In 2000, Andrew formed his Los Angeles based band, The Coconut Club Orchestra. They performed at the Coconut Club in Merv Griffin's Beverly Hilton every Saturday night. His Orlando based band, Swingerhead continues to perform throughout Central Florida and the nation and in October of 2001, they won the Best Band award in the category of "Jazz, Lounge and Swing" for the 4th year in a row.

Michael Andrew can be seen leading his band in the opening scene of the MGM motion picture "Heartbreakers" starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sigourney Weaver, and Gene Hackman.

Michael enjoys working with his own bands as well as making frequent guest artist appearances with symphonic orchestras across the country.

    author: Scott Trego

    This is without a doubt the wife and my favorite Christmas CD, and she is a Cristmas music nut! Actually, this is so liked by everyone who hears it, that this is the third time we've had to buy one. They seem to keep disappearing after friends hear it.

  • Great Christmas CD
    author: Robert Miller

    This is a fantastic cd. I love Swingerheads take on traditional christmas tunes. Some tunes remain traditional and others have a unique and fun take. If you like Swingerhead or Christmas, you can't go wrong with this.

  • Loved, loved, loved this christmas CD!
    author: paula hughes

  • Thank God I Finally Got It YEAH!!! GET THE CD NOW!!!
    author: Dyanne Kozlowski

    I have been looking for this CD for about two years. I have seen them live about a milion times and when they came out with the X-mas CD I automatically bought. I let my father in law borrow it and since that day he played it for an entire season and then LOST it. I couldn't belive it. My husband was so excited we actually have the CD it is an actual miracle. THANK you so much for carrying artist that are not the same old same old. THEY ARE GREAT AND I LOVE THEM like a bad rash. Thanks again and GET THE CD you will love it.

  • This CD made both me and my 8yr old smile and sing!
    author: Betsy Cox

    The music is great and so was the service from CD Baby!

  • Not the same old boring songs!!!
    author: Tom Meyer

    either smooth or swinging, it's much more fun than the straight-laced christmas collections that come out every year. ranks right up there with Setzer and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy!!! A must-have!!!

  • Best Christmas album in years!
    author: Scott Leopold

    Swingerhead is one of the most fun bands around. A Swingerhead Christmas presents them at their finest, with a great variety of songs and styles, and some of the most enjoyable Christmas music you're likely to hear. This needs to be under the tree of everyone you know!

  • Great gift!
    author: Donald in Central Florida

    I took the "in-laws" to Michael Andrew's recent "Swingin Christmas" concert in Orlando (with the Atomic Big Band). The concert was BOFFO! My Brother-in-law was so blown away that I bought him the Swingerhead Christmas CD as a gift with the Destination Moon CD as a bonus. The only thing better than a Michael Andrew CD is a Michael Andrew live performance! I have all of Michael Andrew's CDs. I just wish he would publish a few more!
