He’s married to Myra Weed, a member of the Shoshone tribe of Wyoming’s Wind River Reservation. Andrew was known primarily as a singer and dancer when he toured with the New York-based American Indian Dance Theatre. While on tour in the mid-1980s, he was introduced to the flute and began to fill in as a flutist for rehearsals. He began to develop his own style and, eventually, his own compositions.
