    paper András Droppa

    András is a 23-year-old guitarist, singer, and songwriter, playing driving original rock music. He has been playing guitar since he was eight years old, and writing for over half a decade. He hails from Bideford in North Devon.

    András cut his teeth on the North Devon music scene at 14. A regular fixture at The Palladium Club, Bideford, András’ passion for performance and musical expression have only grown with time, both at home and whilst at university. Releasing his debut single ‘Living For The Nights’ in 2023 (whilst finishing his degree), András has played numerous shows, building up a loyal following out of his hometown and beyond.

    Playing his first festival slot at Oceanfest 2024, András released his self-titled debut album on 31st August 2024, achieving nearly 8000 streams within the first four months of its release. He then embarked on his debut tour, the ‘Painted Ladies Tour’, performing at 20 grassroots venues throughout the UK. His tenacity and musical prowess have secured him a number of festival slots over 2025, including Hard Rock Hell XVIII, Home Farm Festival, and Here For The Music Festival.

    A virtuosic ‘tour-de-force’ of in-your-face guitar driven music, András and his band won’t disappoint. His unique blend of Hard Rock, Blues, Soul and Funk shines through in his original material, and his live band are undeniably energetic and infectious. For fans of: AC/DC, Rival Sons, Black Stone Cherry, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Joe Bonamassa, and Jared James Nichols.
