| Andy J Forest
Harmonica & Frattoir player - Singer Songwriter
Born in 1955, Andy has been playing harmonica and singing professionally since 1977. He has recorded 7 LPs, 11 cds and two 45s. These recordings feature mostly Forest’s original songs. The latest CD “Real Stories: of Love Labor and Other Man Made Catastrophies” (on Slang Records) won "The Best of The Beat" Award for best Blues Cd of 2007 in New Orleans.
After living in Europe for ten years he returned to his home New Orleans in 1991 where he plays in clubs yet frequently goes on tour in Europe and Canada.
Early influences were Sonny Terry, Little Walter Jacobs, Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton, Paul Butterfield, Taj Mahal and Charlie Musselwhite - to name a few.
He has played on stage with B.B. King, Bobby Blue Bland, Johnny Shines, Champion Jack DuPree, James Booker and many other greats of the Blues. He has written scores of songs, one novel (Letter From Hell) and paints “outside” art, (see pics) mostly of blues and jazz singers. Some of them are hanging around in New Orleans in La Belle Galerie, 309 Chartres St. and @ Louisiana Music Factory-210 Decatur St. He also played on the new Washboard Chaz Blues Trio (of which he is currently one third of) CD "Mix It Up".
On tour the Andy J Forest Band’s other members are Heggy Vezzano, Guitar, Luca Tonani Bass and Pablo Leoni drums. In New Orleans usually: Jack Cole guitar, Red DeVecca bass and either Allyn Robinson or Mike Volker on drums and sometimes Marc Adams on piano and organ. In Canada Andy plays with Tony D. and his band.
