"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 "One of the giant talents of New Orleans." Quint Davis, Producer, New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, May 1, 2009 "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.
