Singer-songwriter, Producer, Child Actor. "Gene Eugene" Andrusco was born in Fort Francis, Ontario, Canada in 1961, and moved with his family to southern California at a young age. It was there that his acting career began, first playing a young "Darrin Stevens" on the TV show Bewitched. He went on to have parts in various TV shows and movies including, Gidget Gets Married, Jake and the Fatman, The Bold Ones and Cannon. He also worked as a voice actor for a few animated series, Wait Till Your Father Gets Home, The Barkleys and The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan. By 1982, Gene Eugene had started his musical career and in 1986 released his first album "In a New World of Time," with the band he fronted, Adam Again. Adam Again, with Gene Eugene, went on to record four more albums, "Ten Songs by Adam Again," in 1988, "Homeboys," in 1990, "Dig," in 1992 and "Perfecta" in 1995. During the 80s and 90s Gene Eugene owned and operated his own recording studio, the Green Room, where he engineered, mixed and produced hundreds of albums for countless artists including, the Aunt Bettys, The Choir, Daniel Amos, Michael Knott, The Waiting, Crystal Lewis, John Gibson, Plankeye, Starflyer 59, Over The Rhine, Pspazz, Undercover, Cush, and Anointed among others.

In 1989 he recorded the album "Outdoor Elvis" with The Swirling Eddies where he used the name "Prickly Disco." In 1991, he and the frontmen of three other bands, Terry Taylor of Daniel Amos, Mike Roe of the 77's and Derri Daugherty of the Choir formed the alt-country supergroup The Lost Dogs, which recorded four albums with Gene, "Scenic Routes," in 1992, "Little Red Riding Hood," in 1993, "The Green Room Serenade, Part One," in 1996, and "Gift Horse" in 1999.
