Andy Mackay

Andy Mackay is a multi-instrumentalist best known as a founding member of the influential art-rock band Roxy Music, where his slick saxophone riffs and experimental oboe work became a signature part of their glam-meets-avant-garde sound. Beyond Roxy's legacy, he’s cultivated a solo career that leans into his love for orchestral arrangements and genre-blurring projects, like the quirky *AM.PM* sessions that blend French horn with unconventional instruments (yes, even a drainpipe). Recent releases like *Christmas - Mackay & Manzanera* (a festive collab with fellow Roxy guitarist Phil Manzanera) and the moody *Blue Skies* EP show he’s still chasing creative sparks, whether revisiting Roxy-era magic through reworks (*Blood on the Moon*) or crafting lush instrumental pieces (*Roxymphony*). A timeless innovator, Mackay keeps proving rock ’n’ roll and classical curiosity can happily share a stage.
