Born in 1955, Andy has been playing harmonica and singing professionally since 1977. He has recorded 7 LPs, 14 cds and two 45s. These recordings feature mostly Forest’s original songs. After living in Europe for ten years he returned to his home New Orleans in 1991 where he plays in clubs and frequently goes on tour in Europe and Canada. Early influences were Sonny Terry, Little Walter Jacobs, Sonny Boy Williamson, James Cotton, Paul Butterfield, Taj Mahal and Charlie Musselwhite - to name a few.

He has played on stage with B.B. King, Bobby Blue Bland, Johnny Shines, Champion Jack DuPree, James Booker and many other greats of the Blues. He has written scores of songs, one novel which was published in 3 languages (Letter From Hell) and paints “outside” art, mostly of blues and jazz singers. Andy’s cd “Real Stories (Of Love, Labor, And Other Man-made Catastrophes)” for Slang Records won “Best Blues Album” of 2007 in the Best of The Beat Awards of New Orleans.
