Born in Northern Georgia sometime between 1985 and 1986, raised by a single mother and clan of cousins, first instrument was harmonica then ukelele, finally by age thirteen guitar. Under the strict puritanical rule of thirds music was deemed "satan's workshop" and thus he was booted out in his youth to follow the life of an itenarent worker, playing with various medicine shows, and busking and preforming magic on street corners in the tiny towns of south central Tennenesee. Began 10 year walk to Mexico with Sadie the coonhound at age 20 only to be beaten up and left with a cut throat and an empty wallet. That damn dog. Music reflects the changing styles of the age from the negro chants and worksongs to the parlor piano tunes adapted for the guitar. New upcoming album on Voodoo Rhythm Records out of Switzerland. You just gotta take that eagle and run with it.

KING KHAN wrote following words about Andy Dale Petty:

I met Andy Dale Petty in Huntsville, Alabama, he had a magazine in his pocket with all the state train routes in it and was telling me about how he loved to hop trains like the hobos back in the day. He taught me how to run next to a train and hop it, always make sure you can see the spokes in the wheel turning, if you cant than the train is too fast and you might lose a limb or two or your head. He fell asleep on a cold wooden porch that evening and then woke everyone up with his lovely geetar playing in the morning. Alabama is known as the place where the first confederate flag was designed and raised, incidentally it was also the place where the first rocket was made to take humans to the moon. Thankfully both slavery and moon travel were abandoned and replaced by white castle, waffle houses and welfare. People like Andy Dale make America the beautiful nightmare that it is. His guitar playing and hobosexuality preserve the fruits of the nation in a jar rather than a petri dish. He may not be able to turn water into wine but he can sure make a rainy afternoon feel like pickles and orange crush. The world would be a cold place without Andy Dale and his geetar, so if you see him by the train tracks, buy him a can of beans and throw a hotdog in it.... he deserves it.
