 | | Andy & Kenny-2007 |
We have three videos for you this time, all from a 2007 show we've dubbed, "The Cafe' Americana Show." Andy's band for the show was Kenny Malone, Craig Fletcher, Rick Lee, and Jeremy Shearer.
Nine Pound Hammer- Kenny steals the show with a classic Malone drum solo.
You've Been a Friend to Me- The Carter Family Gem.
My Dad- Kenny, Craig and Rick were all on the studio recording of this song for Andy's "Blackberry Jam" CD. | |

Andy will have the great pleasure of performing with his friend, percussion master, Kenny Malone.
Kenny has been a major figure in the world of Nashville music recording since 1970, adding his distinctive sound and approach to records by hundreds of artists. You can hear him on projects by: Alison Krauss, New Grass Revival, Tim O'Brien, Mark O'Connor, Béla Fleck, Russ Barenberg, Edgar Meyer, Doc Watson, Ray Charles, John Prine, Dolly Parton, Waylon Jennings, George Jones, Don Williams, Emmylou Harris, Merle Haggard, Kathy Mattea, Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Doc Watson, Ray Charles, Andy May(!), and hundreds of others. Kenny recently released an instructional DVD entitled "Drumming with Your Hands."
As a producer, artist, and band-mate, Andy has worked with Kenny many times in the past 14 years, and it's always a joy. Kenny's sense of humor is also legend, and this promises to be an entertaining and informative workshop!

Join the Jam Recap
This workshop was a lot of fun. We had a great group of participants, all with different strengths, who learned to play together as an informal group. Most of them were able to stay for Andy's show that evening and wowed the crowd with their "Join the Jam Spotlight" performance. We really look forward to continuing the workshop series. How does January sound for the next one? |

Courtney's Closes on Saturdays Sadly, Courtney's Restaurant will no longer be open on Saturdays. We've really enjoyed the run at Courtney's, and are sorry to see it end. However, we're looking into other local venues for Andy to do monthly shows and workshops. We're open to suggestions! |
