Based in San Diego, Andrew Johnson holds down the low end for Full Strength, the high-energy dance and funk band voted San Diego's Best Cover Band five years running. With a full horn section, multiple powerhouse vocalists, and a setlist spanning Stevie Wonder and Tower of Power to Bruno Mars and Dua Lipa, Full Strength keeps the party moving with seamless, DJ-style transitions. Andrew's bass and vocals anchor that unstoppable groove. The band's broad repertoire demands versatility, and Andrew moves fluidly between fingerstyle and slap, driving everything from P-Funk to today's chart-toppers at venues across Southern California.

Andrew's musical journey began on acoustic bass in fourth grade orchestra, and he remains forever grateful for public school music programs. He went on to refine his craft as the bassist in the UCLA jazz band in the 1980s before stepping away to build a career, returning to the stage with Full Strength in 2013. Andrew plays a Fodera Yin Yang 5-string through a Gallien-Krueger MB Fusion 800 head and a Fractal FX8 pedalboard into his Schroeder 12PL, a cabinet he loves because it's lightweight without sacrificing an ounce of tone.
