Eight Gigs: Glen David Andrews

Glen David Andrews is yet another in a long line of musically talented native sons of New Orleans. His pedigree, though similar to Trombone Shorty and other roof-raising outfits like Rebirth Brass, is distinctive. Andrews excites audiences by injecting his own manic personality into an amazing blend of gospel, funk, soul and R&B. The draw for many is the indefinable aspect of his talent which is evident in his showmanship. His voice and trombone provide the appeal that has long held spectators' attention—whether it's the sweetness of his soul, his roof-raising gospel, those funky horns or brass-band roots.
