ANDY EGERT BLUES BAND (CH/USA)
For almost four decades, Andy Egert has established himself as one of the "hardest working men" on the Swiss blues scene. Whether electrically amplified with his Andy Egert Blues Band, exploring the world of Texas/Chicago/British blues, or singing the Delta blues with just his acoustic guitar - hardly anyone in Switzerland is more "on the road" than Andy Egert. In their energetic shows, the band serves up their sweat-inducing blues, which is hard to beat in terms of dynamics and excitement!
Concert tours in Europe and America, tours with Chicago blues legend Bob Stroger, with Robert Lucas/Dallas Hodge (Canned Heat), with the charismatic singer Justina Lee Brown, but also guest appearances with/or as "supporting act" for Johnny Winter, Stan Webb`s Chicken Shack, Steve Marriott, Bernard Allison, Joe Bonamassa, Dr Feelgood, Canned Heat, Ten Years After, Charlie Musselwhite, Sugar Blue, Joe Louis Walker, The Animals, Status Quo, John Lee Hooker Jr. and many more underline the good reputation that the former street musician from south-east Switzerland enjoys in the international blues community.
In 2010 he was honoured with the coveted "Swiss Blues Award" at the Blues Festival Basel!
Together with Marc Ray Oxendine (bass) and Tosho (drums), Andy Egert (guitar, vocals, harmonica) presents a musical treat not to be missed!
