Bio:
Andre & The J-Tones is a Rhythm & Blues, Funk, Rock, Swing, and Soul band that performs your favourites from the 60's and 70's. They are energetic with a funky horn section and a singer with the raspy and gutsy power of Wilson Pickett and the gentle sound of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke.Since 2005, Andre Bisson (Hamilton, Ontario) has been entertaining audiences in Canada and overseas in Northern Ireland, England, Wales, and The Republic of Ireland with his band Andre & The J-Tones. He is known for his up-beat renditions of classic songs (B.B. King, The Blues Brothers, The Commitments, Motown, Stevie Wonder...). Andre has been recognized in the blues community for his 4 studio albums gaining publicity and exposure through radio, blues magazines, and blues awards throughout the world. His music is available on iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby etc.
With the completion of his forth studio album Till the Real Thing Comes Along released on August 3, 2012, it is clear to hear that Andre has stayed true to his influences. Combining the driving bass lines of Motown, the raw vocal power of Stax, and the electrifying horn sections of B.B. King, this album is sure to bring any blues fan to their feet. Along with eight new originals, Andre also pays tribute to one of the greats with his version of Otis Redding’s “Don’t Mess with Cupid”. Andre also has some fun with Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love A Bad Name”, rearranged for the true blues listener.
Andre released a CD that was Nominated for Blues Recording of the year for The Hamilton Music Awards, it was also Voted Best Rhythm & Blues Album of 2009 by the Blues Underground Network, and Voted Best CD of 2009 by The Hamilton Blues Lovers.
