Andy Farag

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andy Farag, originally of Crown Point, Indiana, is the percussionist for progressive rock band Umphrey's McGee. He was brought into the band by original drummer Mike Mirro in late 1998, shortly after the release of their debut album Greatest Hits Vol. III. Farag first appeared on disc with Umphrey's McGee on the 1999 live album Songs for Older Women and has remained with the band ever since.

Farag is known for using a vast array of percussion instruments ranging from traditional congas and bongos to drum machines and castanets. On stage Andy has, as guitarist Brandon Bayliss is prone to point out, a vocal mic and a mustache.
