Andy Lorimer - Keyboards

Andy has played the piano since he was five, was born in Jindabyne, Australia and grew up in Burnaby. At seventeen he quit school and went on the road with a much older rock band from New West. They were playing in Chetwynd, BC when Andy met Simon Kaos, a band of just-eighteen year olds from Ft. St. John, which included Darcy and Brian, who shared the same musical tastes and youthful enthusiasm, so he jumped ship and played with Simon Kaos for the next seven years until Lindsay Mitchell, guitarist for Canadian Supergroup Prism, walked into a bar in Kelowna where Simon Kaos was playing “Spaceship Superstar” and recruited Andy and Darcy for Prism’s reformation (along with Al Harlow and Rocket Norton) in 1988.

Since then, he has toured extensively with Prism, Toronto, The Head Pins, Zen Archer, Susie McGregor and The Cheez Bros. In the studio, he’s played on hundreds of recordings, from CD’s to karaoke backtracks. He lived in the Comox Valley for five years, teaches piano and his hobbies include breathing without thinking, Flash programming, and playing loud heavy music with old and new friends every Friday night. He spends most of his time in his studio at home deep in the suburbs of Greater Vancouver
