The rare live gigs that virtuoso keyboardist and soul/blues singer Andy Cowan performs in the vicinity of his home and studio in the Sunshine Coast hinterland are like prized gems – to be treasured with heart and soul. A fixture on the Australian music scene for more than half a century, Andy’s style massages the soul-blues-R and B idiom in an acoustic jazz format. Blues has always been at the core of his work, but it is the emotional quality of his earthy voice, soulful piano-playing and the diversity he displays as a songwriter and interpreter that have helped make him one of the best live performers in Australia. Andy was awarded Blues Album of the Year for his album “One of These Days. He was an ARIA nominee for his “10.30 Thursdays” CD and represented the MBAS at the International Blues Convention in Memphis, Tennessee in 2002.
Joining him in the Andy Cowan Band are longtime friends and collaborators Doc Span, Christian Durham, Duncan McQueen and new member, Ross Williams.
