The Imaginary Band is the latest project involving long time Chilliwack musician, Andrew Christopher, as he shifts his career back towards original music. “Andrew Christopher & The Imaginary Band” was a lonely, solo, acoustic album – and now the band has come to life, with plenty of imagination. Joined up front by singer-songwriter Devon Jared on keys, and vocalist Olivia Simpson, breathtaking harmonies and carefully crafted songs are at the forefront of this group. Not to be outdone, Eric Skonberg enters the mix on fiddle dazzling audiences with his accompanying melodies and solo’s that we dare you to keep up with.
The imaginary rhythm section keeps the beat, whether it’s Clay and Adam on drums and bass respectively, or if Andrew is simply bringing it to life by stomping and dancing along. You’ll hear it, you’ll feel it. Duo, Trio, or full band, all you need is a bit of imagination to let the sound surround you.
A debut single will be released in January 2026, with a full length album to follow.

As he often says, he’s “living the dream” and values time with his wife, 3 kids and his work as a father and husband above all else. 

Andrew lost his daughter, Lilee-Jean, to cancer in 2013 at 2.5 years old. A sense of responsibility to live a good life in honour of his daughter began a change in his life that he’ll be forever grateful for. The fact that he is able to create and perform music as a career is a result of hard work, passion, and difficult life lessons which have molded him into the artist, and man he is today.

After a pretty serious, but financially frustrating stint as front man in Pardon My Striptease (“Pray for LJ” #1 iTunes + top 20 99.3 “fox seeds” band) He recorded his first solo album “Gone”. His busiest year to date had him performing 274 gigs and sold over 1,000 copies of his debut album.

Next, in 2020, ‘AC’ teamed up with his close friend, fellow beer lover, hockey fanatic, and family man, Jamie Rowe. “Parliament of Owls” was a match made in heaven and was as much about family and friendship as it was songwriting. Their self-titled album has sold over 2,000 CD’s. Yes, Andrew is still selling Compact discs off stage as an ode to his longing for the good ol’ days, but it can also be found everywhere music is streamed.
