Andrew Cash (born 1962 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian singer-songwriter.

Biography

Cash began his career in the Toronto punk band L'Étranger, which also included Charlie Angus. When the band broke up in 1986, Cash signed to Island Records as a solo artist. His first release on the label was a reissue of L'Étranger's last recording, Sticks and Stones. He released three albums as a solo artist and had a number of hits, including "Time and Place", "Boomtown", "What Am I Gonna Do with These Hands" and "A Lot of Talk".

He then formed the band Ursula, who released the album Happy to be Outraged in 1995. However, that band was not successful, and broke up after just the one album.

Around the same time as Ursula's demise, however, his brother Peter Cash also decided to leave his band, Skydiggers. Both available at the same time for the first time in their careers, Andrew and Peter decided to write and record together, and released their debut album as The Cash Brothers, Raceway, in 1999.

Since 1999, Cash has also provided the soundtrack music for various television shows, mostly Canadian productions. He also writes for the Toronto-based NOW magazine.

In 2000, he collaborated with Hawksley Workman and Jason Collett on Chrome Reflection, an album credited to Bird.

In 2007 Cash released his latest solo album Murder=.

Politics

On 5 October 2009, Cash was nominated as the New Democratic Party candidate for the Toronto riding of Davenport, in preparation for the 41st Canadian federal election. If elected, he would become a caucus colleague of his former bandmate Charlie Angus, who has been a federal Member of Parliament since 2004.^[1][2]
