The Jazz and Blues Collective has Pleasure in Presenting:
‘The Andy Cowan Band'
UNDERCOVER
Sunshine Coast album launch.
The rare live gigs that virtuoso keyboardist and soul/blues singer Andy Cowan performs in the vicinity of his home and studio in the Sunshine Coast hinterland are far and few between like prized gems – to be treasured with heart and soul.
A new album from the veteran, classically-trained “king of the keys” is no different, which is why the hearts of local music lovers are beating faster as we approach the local launch of Undercover, by the Andy Cowan Band.
A fixture on the Australian music scene for more than half a century, Andy’s style massages the soul-blues-R and B idiom in an acoustic jazz format. Blues has always been at the core of his work, but it is the emotional quality of his earthy voice, soulful piano-playing and the diversity he displays as a songwriter and interpreter that have helped make him one of the best live performers in Australia. Andy was awarded Blues Album of the Year for his album “One of These Days. He was an ARIA nominee for his “10.30 Thursdays” CD and represented the MBAS at the International Blues Convention in Memphis, Tennessee in 2002.
Andy’s affinity with the beautiful and artistically inspiring part of the world that he now calls home began in 1973, when he finished his stint with Madder Lake and decided to take a spin north with wife Wendy to check out his grandfather’s favourite fishing hideaway, Noosa Heads. He spotted a hand-written sign on Hastings Street saying “keyboard player wanted” and they ended up staying two years.
After a career that has taken him around the world many times over and brought him international acclaim, Andy and Wendy have come “home” to find a creative soup of talented and like-minded musicians. Joining him in the Andy Cowan Band are long-time friends and collaborators.
Doc Span- harmonica.
Christian Dunham- Electric Bass / Double Bass.

Undercover is a labour of love, a collection of classic covers recorded by musicians and forever friends over six months at Andy’s studio at Black Mountain, west of Noosa, and featuring the work of some of the greatest songwriters of the blues/jazz/soul/rock idiom.
