GLEN DAVID ANDREWS
Andrews comes from a storied extended family of musicians. He was born in the historic Tremé neighborhood – which many consider to be the oldest black community in the United States – where the struggle to survive is older than the mighty oak trees in the Crescent City. According to family folklore, Anthony “Tuba Fats” Lacen, a patriarch of modern New Orleans music, directed the bell of his horn toward Andrews’s mother’s belly as a way to induce labor. Andrews was born the following day. Transfixed by the magic and mystery of the city’s second-line parades, Andrews and his older brother, Derrick Tabb of the Rebirth Brass Band, along with their younger cousin Troy “Trombone Shorty,” soaked up life’s musical lessons by learning the history of the brass band tradition firsthand from iconic figures like Tuba Fats. They also learned the power of the city’s Mardi Gras Indian culture.
“The musicians I heard coming up literally brought me out of the womb,” Andrews says. “Jesus was born in a manger. I was born in a second line.”
Starting on the bass drum as a child, Andrews soon picked up the trombone; he was blowing a joyful noise by the time he was 12. He practiced his musicianship and showmanship with the city’s most energetic brass bands, from New Birth and L’il Rascals to ReBirth and Treme. “He’s always had a massive presence and a massive sweetness,” says Paul Sanchez, the New Orleans singer-songwriter who has collaborated with Andrews.
That presence and sweetness have long endeared Andrews to audiences at his regular gigs at such New Orleans clubs as dba and Three Muses. In recent years he began making waves as a headliner at the world’s biggest block party – the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival where he has ripped it up in the gospel tent, the blues tent and the jazz tent. “ “Glen is one of the giant talents of New Orleans music,”
says the festival’s producer Quint Davis
Glen David Andrews, will be performing live at The Boom Boom Room. Andrews topped all artists in the recently announced New Orleans Best of the Beat Awards, with six nominations including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Male Vocalist, and Best Trombonist, and 2 songs from Redemption, “Surrender” and “NY to Nola”, were nominated for song of the year.
THE RECORDING:
Redemption is a heartfelt portrayal of the struggles that landed Andrews in rehab and his triumphant return from those dark times or, as Andrews puts it, his “journey from the living dead” summed up through music and lyrics in a way that’s “blunt and honest.” Released on Louisiana Red Hot Records, and distributed nationally by eOne. it was produced by Leo Sacks, who won a Grammy this year for his work on a Bill Withers compilation. It was mixed by Ray Bardani, another multi-Grammy winner, and mastered by another multi-Grammy winner, Mark Wilder. (Leo and Ray also produced and mixed the New Orleans Social Club CD, “Sing Me Back Home”). The CD features special guests Jamison Ross on drums and vocals, Galactic’s Ben Ellman on harmonica, Anders Osborne on guitar and Ivan Neville on B3, clavinet, Wurlitzer and vocals.
