Glen David Andrews articulates the deep musical heritage of the city of New Orleans while keeping one foot planted in the more contemporary, funky sounds of today’s brass bands. The other foot rests firmly on the time-honored tradition of his elders; legends such as Anthony “Tuba Fats” Lacen, Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton.

“New Orleans has a long history of amazing performers whose legend never completely translates to the outside world… when a local artist breaks through at Jazzfest, it is a spectacular thing to witness. This fest it happened to Glen David Andrews…it was as if some otherworldly force took over him during a performance in the Gospel Tent that was completely transformative…he was a combination of James Brown and Prince…people were clamoring to touch him, to take a spark from this burning light of a spiritual force in their midst.” excerpt from review by John Swenson, June 2009 OffBeat Magazine
