Andy Reyerson: Audio Technica Stompbox Winner
By Erik Jarvis
Each month Musicpage.com gives away new products or gear to one of its members. Once the winner receives their prize, we contact them to touch base regarding their new loot and what’s going on in their career.
A few months ago, Musicpage partnered with Audio-Technica to give away their System 10 Stompbox. Andy Reyerson, vocalist, guitarist, and producer for Arson River, was our lucky winner.
Reyerson has been a music industry powerhouse in his efforts across several markets. From playing countless sold out shows supporting numerous national acts, engineering and producing various groups with mass radio exposure to single-handedly recording his own rock and acoustic albums, Andy really is the total package of what it takes to succeed in this business.
Since winning the Stompbox, Andy and Arson River have been very busy. “We're starting to play a lot more gigs, and getting the marketing side of things rolling now as well,” Andy explained. “Also, we are always recording. It's what I went to school for, and if I'm not in the studio, I’m not at home.” Their debut album, Any Given Day, dropped last October and they have already begun work on the next one.
Andy has been able to use his new digital and wireless Stompbox when performing shows. “Thanks to Musicpage, I no longer have a leash on stage! Thanks for the wireless system!” he exclaimed. Arson River have developed a reputation as a straight-ahead rock band with very driving rhythms that border on swing and R&B at times; the freedom to rock out is an important aspect of their shows.
We asked Andy if he has any advice or tips from his experience as an producer and an artist: “Keep working hard, but remember, no matter how good your stuff is, if it never leaves your basement, or even your town, nothing will ever come of it besides your own satisfaction.”
