One of the original three songwriters for the band (which expanded to four once Zubin contributed tracks to their second album), Andrew has writing credits on 5 of the 14 tracks on MMMM, sole writing credits on 4 of those 5, and sings lead vocals on 2. This incredible accomplishment contributed hugely to much of Tally HallвЂ™s initial success, and вЂњGood DayвЂќ (best song in the damn country 2k04!!!) was later rightly promoted as MarvinвЂ™s Marvelous Mechanical MuseumвЂ™s lead single. By far his most notable early achievement, though, was the award he won in 2004 for his song вЂњGood Day,вЂќ as recorded by Tally Hall for Complete Demos- the national grand prize in the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Contest, which came with a scholarship of $10,000 and was personally presented to him by Yoko Ono herself. Toy Orchestra performs an original Horowitz composition at the Blind Pig in April 2005.ДЄndrew, along with being a proficient and talented musician and composer, also won awards for his writing while in college, racking up two prestigious Hopwood Awards for fiction and poetry. He dabbled in many other musical side projects during college, such as the 30-piece experimental sing-along band Toy Orchestra, which also included Rob and Zubin, and the hip-hop/classical mashup collective The Baker Bros. Probably the only member of Tally Hall who entered college knowing for sure that he wanted to become a musician, Andrew double-majored in music composition and English at University of Michigan, in the same year as Joe and Rob (class of вЂ05). According to his website bio circa 2004, he began playing piano at age 5 and composing his own music at age 8, and during high school he was involved in youth symphonies and attended the Interlochen summer music program. Here are your ESSENTIAL ANDREW BASICS:ДЄndrew, one of the founding trio that played that first show in the basement of the Frieze Building, is the only member of Tally Hall not hailing from the Detroit suburbs. I considered doing one big post introducing all the members of Tally Hall today, but since there are five of them, one for each day IвЂ™ll be posting here, I thought it would be nice to do them all justice by giving them each a big fat post of their own :) To unlock the rock in the act if you pleaseвЂ¦.вЂќ вЂњSend home the blacksmith, greenвЂ™s got keys Oneweekoneband: Tally Hall Member Spotlight: Andrew Horowitz
