Andrew "Andy" Newmark (born July 14, 1950) is an American musician, best known as the drummer for the influential funk band Sly & the Family Stone from 1972 to 1973. Hired to replace Gerry Gibson, who in turn had replaced founding Family Stone member Gregg Errico, Newmark was invited to audition for Sly Stone by Family Stone saxophonist Pat Rizzo. Newmark went on to record one album as the Family Stone's drummer, Fresh (1973) and performed with the band for two years in live concert as well. <
