ANDY BELT & FRIENDS & THE ANDY BELT TRIO
Andy Belt has been the vocalist for the Baltimore based band Black Friday for the past 26 years. He returned to his acoustic roots with his Summer 2011 release "Playin in the Band". In 2012 the band released its acclaimed second CD, "Hold the Line", which channels their unique brand of urban-billy new grass with an a dash of Alt/Country Americana. The band is currently working on its third Cd, due out in the Summer of 2013.
Andy Belt & Friends is a five piece acoustic ensemble, playing both original and traditional acoustic material. Collectively, the band possesses multiple decades of performing experience. The ensemble features the lead vocals of Black Friday singer-songwriter Andy Belt accompanied by the lead guitar of All Mighty Senator, Warren Boes, the multi-instrumental talent of Gary Backhaus on fiddle and banjo, Indeadnation’s Brooks Osman on keys, Brian Baker on bass and Brian Truax on harmonica.
The band features impressive four part harmonies blended with subtle traditional instrumentation, making a pleasing listening experience even for those who are not familiar with the band itself. In addition to Andy Belt’s original compositions, the band blends a mix of traditional bluegrass classics as well tunes by Bob Dylan, Neil Young, the Band, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Grateful Dead and more. The Band had played such area venues as The Stil, Recher Theatre, French Press, Manor Tavern, Joe Squared, Mick O’Sheas, Slainte, Waterfront Hotel, Germanos, the 8 x 10 and many more.
For rooms and venues unable to accommodate the full roster of Andy Belt & Friends, the Andy Belt Trio provides the vocals of Andy Belt, the lead guitar of Warren Boes and the Banjo and Fiddle of Gary Backhaus as a smaller, more compact musical option. Andy Belt & Friends and The Andy Belt Trio are seasoned performers with the ability to captivate and engage an audience. In short, they are a must see in acoustic entertainment.
