   About Jake Andrews





Jake is featured on the new Paul Jones release "Starting All Over Again" which is garnering great reviews:

"Jones also has a secret weapon on Starting All Over Again: guitarist Jake Andrews. A young product of the Texas music scene, Andrews is going to awe guitar freaks who haven't heard him before. His mastery of tone is impressive and he easily slides between hard, roadhouse blues to uptown funk to classic Steve Cropper-style soul. Andrews continually delivers and his licks are familiar and jaw-droppingly, surprising all at the same time."

"On Starting All Over Again, Jones enlists the help of several friends and A-list musicians, from Eric Clapton and Percy Sledge to Austin, TX guitarist Jake Andrews and drummer Mike Thompson. The album was produced by ex-Textone Carla Olson, who has also worked with Mick Taylor, Gene Clark and Otis Rush. Their expertise fleshes out a collection of rock and R&B tunes that convey everything from life lessons and spirituality, to omnipresent themes like “making coffee for one....“Lover to Cry” has a deep groove and classic electric blues riffs that will keep your feet tapping. Johnnie Taylor’s “If You Love Me Like You Say” stays true to the buoyant R&B feel of the original....The instrumental jam “Alvino’s Entourage” gives the players a chance to strut their stuff, with more killer riffs by Jake Andrews and plenty of Jones’ signature harmonica work."

Born and raised in Austin, Texas, Jake Andrews grew up in a house and city filled with music. He began playing guitar at age 5, taught by his father, John Andrews of the 60's Roots Band Mother Earth. At an early age, Jake began attending shows at the legendary blues venue, Antone's, to see legends like BB King and Albert Collins perform. At age 8, Jake first went onstage to play guitar with Albert King. Impressed with the young guitarist, King invited Jake to play with him for his entire second set. The next day the Austin Chronicle reported that King and Andrews "brought the house down with fine blues playing." That moment sparked Jake's young career, and he continued to hone his skills in the clubs of Austin, Texas regularly performing with local musicians.

Jake has performed with music giants such as BB King, Buddy Guy, Albert King and Jimmie Vaughan. Jake has also performed at major festivals such as the San Francisco Blues Festival and Madison Blues Festival with Ray Charles. He has been featured on CBS, Austin City Limits with Grey Ghost, Texas Monthly, Guitar Player, and Vintage Guitar among numerous other publications verifying the talent and hard work that Jake has put into his music career. He has toured the US and Europe extensively.

At the age of 17, Jake was signed to Jericho records, a subsidiary of Warner Brothers. In 1999, Jake released his much anticipated debut album 'Time to Burn' with legendary producer John Porter (BB King, Buddy Guy, Los Lonely Boys). The album unleashed a solid assortment of material played and sung with compelling conviction and an electrifying virtuosity that would draw a smile of approval from his illustrious musical mentors. Billboard magazine stated, "Time to Burn's mix of guitar pyrotechnics, fiery vocals and powerful new songs confirms that Jake Andrews is already blazing new paths with the torch he's been passed." The first title single scored a Top Ten Rock Radio hit. Jake earned the award of "Breakout Rock Group" in 1999 by R&R (Radio and Records). The record was supported with a tour with artists including the Allman Brothers, The Doobie Brothers, Susan Tedeschi, and George Thorogood.

In 2002 Jake released a second self-titled album produced by Carla Olson (Phil Upchurch, Joe Louis Walker, Otis Rush, Barry Goldberg, Mick Taylor). The album was recorded at the Willie Nelson Perdernales Studio. He continued touring the US to promote this album.

"Feelin' Good Again" is Jake's third album and was recorded in Austin, TX. Jake is joined by bassist Mike Sconce, Alvino Bennett (Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Sheena Easton, Dave Mason) and Michael Ramos (John Mellencamp, Los Lonley Boys) on keys. Jake has been promoting this album regionally and on the West Coast.

Andrews is featured on the solo album by Paul Jones released March 10, 2009. Paul Jones is known to many as the singer of the British Invasion band Manfred Mann — the voice on mid-‘60s hits like “Do Wah Diddy,” “Pretty Flamingo,” “Come Tomorrow” and “Sha La La.” The new CD is his first solo album in decades. It was released on Collectors’ Choice Music. Backing Jones on the project are musicians: Eric Clapton plays guitar on two tracks (“Choose or Cop Out” and “Starting All Over Again”) and is joined by Jake Andrews, guitar; Tony Marsico (Plugz, Cruzados, Neil Young, John Doe, Peter Case), bass; Alvino Bennett (LTD, Stevie Wonder, Bryan Ferry, Dave Mason), drums; Mike Thompson (Eagles, Don Henley), piano and Hammond B3 organ; Ernie Watts (Rolling Stones, Thelonious Monk, Steely Dan), saxophone; Darrell Leonard (Duane Allman, Freddie King, Smokey Robinson), trumpet; Tom Junior Moran (Percy Sledge, Mick Taylor, Phil Seymour), saxophone; Mikael Rickfors (The Hollies), backing vocals; and several others.

In 2006, Andrews joined Guitar Shorty on his Alligator Release "We the People" accompanying the legendary bluesman, and former brother-in-law to Jimi Hendrix, on the album. The album won "Album of the Year" at the WC Handy awards in May 2007. Andrews hit the road with Guitar Shorty in the summer and fall of 2006 for a full US and European tour.

Jake is endorsed by GSH Strings.

It will be unlike any other rockabilly book on the market since it will include some of today's hottest young talent plus insightful stories from 1950's backing musicians and engineers for the first time, such as James Kirkland (Bob Luman, Ricky Nelson), Richie Frost (Ricky Nelson), Steve Handford (Bobby Lee Trammell), Tony Austin (Rock and Roll Trio), Stanley Walker (Ray Smith), Bobby Poe (Wanda Jackson), Vernon Sandusky (Big Al Downing) and Bob Sullivan (KWKH/Louisiana Hayride). Foreword by acclaimed writer Ken Burke.
    These forty-six artists will have individual profiles and one glamorous photo per musician: Glen Glenn, Lew Williams, Art Adams, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Bob Luman, Ed Bruce, Dickey Lee, Jack Earls, Hayden Thompson, Maddox Brothers and Rose, Sonny Burgess, Carl Mann, Ray Smith, Johnny Powers, Larry Donn, Pat Cupp, Ronnie Hawkins, Bobby Lee Trammell, Huelyn Duvall, Gene Summers, Sonny West, Buddy Holly, The Collins Kids, Wanda Jackson, Charlie Gracie, Big Al Downing, Laura Lee Perkins, The Rock and Roll Trio, Narvel Felts, The Dave and Deke Combo, Kim Lenz, Go Cat Go, High Noon, Larry Cole, Cari Lee Merritt, Josie Kreuzer, Eddie Clendening, Suzy and Buddy Dughi, The Casey Sisters, Carl Sonny Leyland, Dawn Shipley, Sue Moreno, Ruby Ann, and Tex Rubinowitz.
