Jake Andrews
Hometown hero Jimmie Vaughan, whose hard-nosed guitar sound reverberates in Andrews'’ playing says: "He reminds me a lot of myself at that age, young and full of excitement of playing the music. Jake's exactly what the blues needs to keep going - someone with a feel for the music who isn't afraid to take it to new places." Still in his teens, Jake Andrews boasts a blues career many would envy. Having performed with giants Albert Collins, Buddy Guy and Otis Rush, Jake's gigged to great acclaim at B.B. King's clubs in Memphis and L.A., Antone's in Austin and the S.F. Blues Festival. While proud to be considered part of the tradition of Texas guitar slingers - greats like Johnny Winter and Stevie Ray Vaughan - Andrews has come to view the blues more as a foundation than a final musical destination.
