The Andy Kaufmans started as a studio project at the ill-fated Shoebox Recording Studio in Ottawa, Ontario. The then co-owners, Bryan Ruckstuhl and Jonathan Chandler, had a running game to see how much music could be recorded before a client would arrive in the morning and as a general rule, no more than 2 hours could be spent recording any song. The result was 2017’s album “Maggie”. The duo would then release a handful covers and singles over the following years.

One sunny day the Andy boys figured “I suppose we should play a show, after all it’s been 6 years since we released an album”. So, they put together a band of friends, comprised of members from Ruckstuhl’s “The Lucky Setback” and Chandler’s “Amos the Transparent”, to bring the songs to life. Unfortunately, the duo required more human power than Alan Cross’ review of the band - “Basically, two guys and a dog.”
