The following list of venues and legendary Blues musicians he has backed or toured with speaks for itself. They include, The Jazz and Heritage Festival in New Orleans with CP Love, host band at the Bammies backing rock and roll Hall of Famer "Booker T. Washington," Joe Louis Walker, the Gospel Humming Birds and the amazing Bonnie Raitt. For 5 years running he was chosen as the host band for the "Hollywood Hall of Fame Fest."

Andy Santana is a consummate professional, has a great stage presence, and is one of the nicest and humblest musicians on the circuit. As a producer, he recently completed soul great Jackie Payne’s latest CD for Delta Groove Productions.


Andy's CD "Take Me with You" is long overdue and showcases some of the very best West Coast musicians. Each musician has their own distinctive style and philosophy of American Roots music, and on "Take Me with You" it all comes together in an unforgettable way.
