Andy Brown is a musician based in Chicago who specializes in what he calls “old-school jazz guitar.”
As a sideman he has performed with internationally known jazz musicians including Scott Hamilton, Howard Alden, Harry Allen, Warren Vaché, Ken Peplowski, Hod O’Brien, and many others. His love of great tunes as well as accompanying skills have made him a favorite with vocalists in the Chicago area.
Andy has made many festival appearances around the world including performances in Brazil, Europe and Canada. In 2012, his trio was invited by the Chicago Mayor's office to perform for the Nobel Peace Prize dinner in Chicago where invited guests included U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, as well as the Dalai Lama and Mikhail Gorbachev.
Since 2009, Andy has co-led a two-guitar quartet with renowned guitarist Howard Alden. In 2013, Delmark Records released a CD of the group entitled Heavy Artillery which received four stars in Downbeat Magazine and was featured in their annual Albums Of The Year issue. His latest CD is the critically acclaimed 2023 quartet album Good Atmosphere.
Andy had the good fortune to learn directly from several guitar masters, including Cal Collins, Ted Greene, and Howard Alden. His most important mentor was the late Kenny Poole, who called Andy his protégé.
