Andrew Heringer

In 2009, Heringer started writing and recording music that eventually became the debut album by Milo Greene with bandmates Marlana Sheetz and Robbie Arnett.[1] Most of the debut Milo Greene was recorded on Heringer's laptop and mobile recording gear [2] at the homes and cabins of friends and family. The band choose to finish off recording at Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville, WA with producer Ryan Hadlock.[3]

From 2012 to 2015 while Heringer was in the band, Milo Greene released two albums - Milo Greene and Control. Milo Greene was released on July 17, 2012 and peaked at number 1 on the US Billboard Heatseekers Albums and number 115 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.[4]

On December 17, 2015 Heringer announced on his social media that he would be parting ways with Milo Greene to pursue his own projects as well as write, produce and mix with other artists.

The Guest and The Host is Heringer's solo indie folk project recorded primarily at his Beachwood Canyon cabin he calls Mirror Wall Studio.[5][6] Buzzbands.LA wrote "Heringer’s work as the Guest and the Host finds its heartbeat in the ’70s-style folk-rock of his former band’s [ Milo Greene ] first album." [7]

In February 2018, Heringer released his first E.P. under The Guest and The Host called "You're Exactly Where You're Supposed to Be" - a collection of 6 songs; many of which had been previously released as singles.[8]
