Veteran West Coast musician Andy Santana is a smooth, dynamic vocalist and harmonica player with a sophisticated urban style. With more than twenty five years of professional experience, he is also an accomplished songwriter/guitarist with an unusual gift for lyrics and is proficient at creating powerful melodies.
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 Lewis Walker, Gospel Humming Birds and the amazing Bonnie Raitt. For years running as the host band for the “Hollywood Hall of Fame Fest” he backed legendary Chicago Blues musicians, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Rogers, Luther Tucker, Billy Boy Arnold, Freddie Robinson, Dave Myers, Cary Bell. In addition west coast artists Rusty Zinn, William Clark and King Ernest.
Andy and his band were featured artists at the “Santa Cruz Blues Fest” backing New Orleans legend Earl King. As the host band at Moe’s Alley they backed “Austin’s first lady of the Blues,” Angela Strehli, Joe Huston, Lou Ann Barton, Jimmy Thackery, CoCo Montoya, Tommy Castro, Cris Cain, and Sista Monica. In addition, Andy’s band backed Nappy Brown (Night Time is the Right Time) at the San Francisco Blues Fest. Andy has recorded and toured with cult legend Jr. Watson and Angela Strehli.

Andy has toured and performed from Seattle, Washington to, throughout Europe including some of his favorites, the Fillmore Auditorium, the Shoreline Amphitheater and Battle of the Harps.
Andy’s greatest compliment is that top musicians on the west coast and abroad are always eager to play at any venue or record in the studio with him. Mr. Santana is a consummate professional, has a great stage presence, and is one of the nicest and humblest musicians on the circuit.
When not touring you can find Andy in his shop repairing guitars for Steve’s music in Sacramento. He also as a producer recently completed soul great Jackie Payne’s last CD for Delta Groove Productions. As a screen writer he has completed two and is currently rewriting his third screenplay for a London based production company, proving himself to be a versatile artist
Andy’s CD, “Take Me With You” , is long overdue and showcases some of the best west coast musicians. An amazing amount of Bay Area talent was brought together on this disc. 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.
Featured musicians include guitarist Jr. Watson (Canned Heat, Koko Taylor, Mighty Flyers, PeeWee Crayton), guitarist Mighty Mike Schermer (Elvin Bishop, Maria Muldar, Howard Tate Angela Strehli), keyboards piano Audi deLone (Nick Lowe, Fabulous Thunderbirds), bass Mike Phillips (Charlie Musselwhite), drummer June Core (Charlie Musselwhite, Robert Jr. Lockwood), drummer Joey Ventittelli (Little Charlie and the Nitecats, Big Voodoo Daddy), horn players Mike Rinta, Mike Peloquin, Tom Pool and bass player Eric Kleven.
A special mention of Sacramento bassman, Eric Kleven. Unfortunately, he was killed in a car accident during the summer of 2006. As a result, Eric never had a chance to hear these recordings which is sad since he added so much to them. He was a true talent and his sudden departure is a loss that Sacramento will never truly recover from. He is missed.
