By the end of the decade, he joined the award-winning contemporary bluegrass band Breakaway as guitarist and principal songwriter; they toured along the East coast and released several acclaimed recordings until the year 2000. Andy was a member of The Bluegrass Gospel Project from 2001 until 2005, and in 2009 he formed The Modern Grass Quintet.
The MGQ performed in Vermont and New York, recorded two CDs, and remained active on the festival circuit through 2015. In the fall of 2016, Andy was enlisted to play the banjo with Northern Flyer. He also teaches music and facilitates studio production.
