The Police Behind the Shades: Celebrate Andy Summers with the Aviator Unisex T-Shirt

This unisex Andy Summers Aviator T-shirt isn’t just a band tee; it’s a tribute to a guitarist who redefined the sound of new wave music. Andy Summers, the man behind the mirrored sunglasses, was a cornerstone of The Police, one of the most influential bands of the late 70s and early 80s.

Born in Lancashire, England in 1949, Summers began his musical journey early, experimenting with various genres before finding his calling in the burgeoning punk scene. His innovative approach to guitar playing, influenced by the likes of Robert Fripp and Link Wray, incorporated elements of reggae, ska, and even Eastern music.

When he joined The Police in 1977, alongside Sting and Stewart Copeland, Summers’ unique style became a perfect complement to the band’s energetic sound. His distinctive use of effects pedals, particularly the chorus effect, and his mastery of complex chord voicings helped create iconic Police tracks like “Roxanne” and “Every Breath You Take.”

Beyond The Police, Summers enjoyed a successful solo career, showcasing his versatility and penchant for experimentation. He’s also a prolific composer, having written film scores and collaborated with artists across various genres.

This Andy Summers Aviator T-shirt is more than just a piece of merch; it’s a recognition of a guitarist who pushed boundaries and helped shape the sound of a generation. Wear it with pride and celebrate the musical legacy of Andy Summers, the architect of sound behind the mirrored shades.
