About Me


"astounding guitarist...highly recommended"
Marco Rossi, Dorset Echo
"A great voice...very distinctive"
Xan Phillips, Original 106 fm
Andy Grant plays an original, rootsy mixture of Blues, Rock and Jazz on guitar, vocal and stompbox. After fleeing a job in a South African gold mine, Andy made ends meet playing his music on street corners from Melbourne to Copenhagen. When playing live he incorporates growly vocals, infectious rhythms and guitar skills that turn the devil green. He self released Spirals, an album of tripped-out guitar instrumentals in 2003.
Andy’s new CD Hole in the Sky has had a fantastic response from fans and press alike, receiving regular radio play across the south coast from stations such as Original 106 fm, Forest fm and Wessex fm.
