Andy Walo: Do Your Own Thing
by Gary Schwind (writer), June 18, 2008, published in BrooWaha Los Angeles
Guitarist Andy Walo discusses growing up obsessed with The White Album, performing as a street musician in Copenhagen, and touring with blues legend Junior Wells.
They asked me, “Andy, how come you play the blues? We grew up with the blues in Chicago. You being white and all…†Junior Wells turned around and said, “Who are you calling white?
I got so many memories. We were in Japan, and I made good money. We toured the world with Allman Brothers, BB King. Japan, we were treated like rock stars. I’ve never experienced that before. I was on the same floor with Van Halen and Bruce Springsteen at the same time. He told me, “Andy, pretty soon you’re going to go ahead and do your own thing.†Because that’s what he did with Muddy Waters. I said, “Yeah, you’re right.â€
" I got offered a gig with Ozzy Osbourne but I turned it down. The lawyer almost choked on his cigar when I said no. I didn’t want to go back to do more side-man stuff. I love Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, but what am I gonna do, be Randy Rhodes? I did the same thing with Rod Stewart when I moved to LA. And I love Rod Stewart. Sometime you have to decide to do your own thing even if you have to start from scratch. I could never see myself being Andy Walo, ex-so-and-so, formerly of…you know? Even though the money is good, money doesn’t buy happiness."

Manchild Press:
In South Florida, where dance music and salsa rhythms rule, a good, honest-to-god rock band is hard to come by. Saturday at Tobacco Road (626 S. Miami Ave.) is the last chance, for who knows how long, to check out the best power-rock trio to ever call this part of the peninsula home: Manchild. Bassist Roger Bueno is taking off for Los Angeles. The other members of the band, songwriter, guitarist, and singer Demetrius Brown and his steady rocking pal drummer Eric Haase will stick around town. Naturally with a band member living on the other side of the country, gigs will be a little harder to arrange. So come check out the last Manchild jam for what surely will be a lengthy spell -- possibly forever.Press for Manchild By Larry Boytano
