Andy's long-time buddy & music collaborator, Kenny Kosek, will be doing several shows & workshops with Andy in August. (See the calendar.) Having grown up together and played music together throughout their teens, Andy & Kenny make a really wonderful team and can do those brother duets like nobody's business. It will be a treat to have Kenny in town!.
From Kenny's website: "Kenny Kosek is one of America's finest fiddlers. He has played and recorded with numerous bluegrass and new acoustic bands, including Country Cooking, Breakfast Special, Bill Keith and Tony Trischka. In addition, he has worked with artists as diverse as Laurie Anderson, Steve Goodman, John Denver, James Taylor, Jerry Garcia, Loudon Wainwright III and The New Blue Velvet Band. Kenny has played in several Broadway musicals, including "Big River," "Foxfire" and "The Robber Bridegroom," and is the author of the book "Bluegrass Fiddle Styles" (Oak Publications).

Student News: Preston L. Performs with Hillary Scott of Lady Antebellum
Andy's guitar student, Preston L. was ready when opportunity knocked. ( Watch the video.) Here's what his mom, Lisa, said about the event:
Preston L. and Hillary Scott |
Our school, was devastated by the historic Nashville Flood, May 2010. Our entire school was submerged in water. It was the worst damaged school in Nashville. Because our campus was destroyed, we were moved to 2 local churches to finish our school year. Hillary Scott, from the country group Lady Antebellum, dropped by one day for a visit to our school. My son, Preston, happened to have his guitar that day. Hillary and Preston sang a duet together. We lost almost everything due to the flood, it was nice for the kids to just forget about everything for awhile and just sing. Where else but Nashville can a 10 year old rock out with a Grammy award winning superstar?
The song is a Justin Bieber's Baby, written by Christopher Stewart & Terius Nash, which Preston had worked up on his own. |
