Updated May 2023

Hoping this Spring finds you well. I'm fortunate to have some really fun musical performances this month and I wanted to give you a heads up!

I'm excited to be playing at SPACE on Tuesday, June 6th at 7:30 pm in Evanston with my favorite singer and duet partner Petra van Nuis. We'll be making our debut as a duo at this amazing Evanston institution and we hope you can join us! This is a great spot to hear our duo in an intimate listening setting.

Here are some regular gigs where you can find me this May:

Mondays - Joel Paterson and Friends at the Green Mill from 8PM - 12AM. Joel is a wonderful fellow guitarist and we explore a variety of genres from jazz/western swing/blues/country. With Beau Sample on bass and Alex Hall on drums. (I'll be absent 5/22)

Wednesdays - Petra van Nuis/Andy Brown voice/guitar duo at Hemmingway's Bistro in Oak Park from 6PM-9PM. Hemmingway's is a fantastic restaurant and Petra and I so happy to perform for their Wednesday jazz nights. (I'll be absent 5/17 & 5/24))

Thursdays - Solo Jazz Guitar at Chicago's famed Green Mill Cocktail Lounge. I play behind the bar for the cocktail hour show from 5PM - 7:15PM. No cover, tasty drinks, and I take requests!

Sundays - Andy Brown Quartet at Andy's Jazz Club. Sunday Sets in Jan/Feb 2023 are at 7PM and 9:15PM. With drummer Phill Gratteau, bassist Joe Policastro and pianist Jeremy Kahn. We just recorded our second quartet CD. Look for a Summer 2023 release!!

I also have some other really cool gigs in May with various leaders. More info about these can be found on my schedule page.

I'm regularly posting new video to my YouTube page.
