Bio / info
Andrew James "Andy" Summers (born 31 December 1942) is an English musician, born in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire. Best known as the guitarist for the rock band The Police, he has also recorded twelve solo albums, collaborated with many other artists, toured extensively under his own name, published several books, and composed several film scores. Summers' professional career began in the mid-60s in London as the guitarist for the British rhythm and blues band Zoot Money's Big Roll Band, which eventually came under the influence of the spreading psychedelic scene and evolved into the acid rock group Dantalian's Chariot. After the demise of Dantalion's Chariot, Summers joined Soft Machine for a period of three months and toured the United States, though he never recorded with the band. He joined The Police in 1977 and remained with the band until they split up in 1986, scoring massive success worldwide. After the band's end, he has been involved in a number of different projects, including work with Robert Fripp, John Etheridge, Tony Levin, and many more, in styles ranging from experimental to rock to jazz.
