Meet the band
the Undertones
Retro musical stylings.
We are highly-experienced musicians who enjoy performing for all types of audiences. From the roots of Rock & Roll, through the 50’s and 60’s, to the 70’s and beyond, we bring smiles and good memories to all.
The Undertones: Robin, Pete, Andrew and Steve.
Andrew Biggs – Lead Vocals, Guitar
As a boy growing up on Denver, Andrew got his first guitar in 5th grade. He soon knew a few old folk standards, and rock ‘n roll tunes quickly followed. He worked hard and saved his money to buy an electric guitar and small amp. An acoustic 12-string was next, and Andrew sang and played in small bars and at coffee houses. After college it was time to journey to the Great Pacific Northwest. After various musical endeavors, Andrew has found a home with the Undertones, sharing vocal and guitar duties with other high-caliber musicians. With his love of performing, Andrew has developed a wide range of musical tastes and styles; when the lights go on, Andrew is ready to have some fun.
Peter Beresford – Drums, Backing Vocals
Pete is an extremely proficient drummer who has been playing drums since grade school. His initial musical interests were big band jazz (Maynard Ferguson, Count Basie, Buddy Rich, etc.) and horn bands (Chicago, Blood, Sweat and Tears). His styles now include too many genres to mention here. Over the years Pete has played in numerous bands, gigging around the Midwest and later San Francisco, playing clubs, events, parties and weddings. Pete brings this wide-ranging drumming experience, along with backing vocals, to the Undertones.
Robin Amrine – Lead Guitar, Vocals
Robin was born with music in his veins and a guitar in his hands. Hailing from Longview, Washington, his first childhood memories are that of family gatherings – all full of music. Robin would sit at the feet of his uncle, who would play a “shiny gold guitar,” but the sound came out of a big box next to him – it was loud.” That 50’s gold top Les Paul and Fender Twin Reverb amp were the start of a musical journey that would take Robin through the sounds and stylings of Austin, Memphis, Bakersfield, Nashville, Chicago, St. Louis, NOLA, down to Georgia/Northern Florida and even “across the pond” to England. Robin brings it all together on stage with a sound steeped in the blues, rock and country.
Steve Klusman – Bass
A humble man. A bass legend.
