Listen to and Buy Glen's new CD "...the most charismatic performer in New Orleans... We're pleased to announce that effective November 22, 2011, we have made a move to the Blue Mountain Artists booking agency. We join a great roster of artists, many based in New Orleans, including Bonerama, Papa Grows Funk, Tab Benoit, George Porter Jr, and the Voices of the Wetlands. Looking forward to working with Hugh Southard and his team, who have many years of experience booking New Orleans music.. Check out Glen's single "If you weren't in the Gospel Tent on Sunday at the close of New Orleans Jazz Fest 2011, you can't appreciate his ability to summon energies of prodigious scope in the name of God almighty. Approximating the power released by a six-pack of hydrogen bombs detonated at tent central, carrying his audience along on a wild ride from one detonation to the next, Andrews was searingly, exhaustingly astonishing" nola.com / May 7, 2011 "Day three's showstopper was Glen David Andrews, who rocked the blues, took it to church and carried it into the moshpit. The gospel/R&B singer and trombonist played an electrifying set. Andrews bellowed, leaped in the air, fell to his knees, waved a yellow handkerchief and crowd-surfed — twice. His rollicking performance accommodated everything from Down in the Tremé to a Cajunized version of The Clash's Should I Stay or Should I Go." "There's over the top, Over the Top, OVER THE TOP, and Glen David Andrews... he was on his knees before the first song, and I was worn out" Alex Rawls OffBeat 6/1/10 "Last
year Glen David Andrews praised the Lord at the Gospel Tent and made converts
in the process. This year, the deities that rule over Jazz Fest paid him
back. Andrews delivered a highlight performance at Congo Square on opening
day before an appreciative crowd" "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 "Andrews is a charismatic vocalist whose improvisational skills and command over any situation hes involved in places him among the top ranks of New Orleans singers..." John Swenson OffBeat Feb. 2009 He is one of the most amazing vocalists alive today -- his billowing baritone is like a horn instrument itself -- and he is an incredible entertainer. He sanctifies, electrifies, hellafies. If you weren't dancing at this show you were dead. John Nova Lomax - Houston Press Aside
from being a great musician, Glen David has absorbed a fading tradition.
He's a link for his generation to something important. But he also has
a rare enthusiasm and energy that makes it all special and exciting for
even casual listeners. |
