Andy Shernoff

Andy Shernoff (born 19 April 1952, Bronx, New York) is a musician, oenophile, and founding member of The Dictators, one of the original New York punk bands, in which he played bass, sang backing vocals and occasional leads, and wrote most of the songs. He has also been involved with a side project with Keith Streng of The Fleshtones called The Master Plan. He also appeared on Joey Ramone's solo album, "Don't Worry About Me".

Shernoff was the bassist with The Fleshtones from 1989-1990.

As both a journalist and a musician, Andy Shernoff is often credited as "Adny Shernoff," a deliberate typo transposing the second and third letters of his name. Shernoff has never explained the reasoning behind this stylistic quirk.
