McGonigel’s Mucky Duck presents Andrew Duhon.
Andrew Duhon is a songwriter from New Orleans, a teller of stories with an undeniable voice, weighted and soulful.
“Songwriters strive to find new ways to tell old tales and only the best succeed. The songs on The Moorings may deal with familiar themes: love found and love lost, mistakes made and lessons learned; shared joys and solitary sorrows but Duhon brings the craft of a master short story writer to his songs and in doing so creates a series of skillfully rendered vignettes.” – The Los Angeles Beat
Duhon has released 3 recordings, the latest of which, ‘The Moorings’, was nominated for a Grammy in 2014 for ‘Best Engineered Album’. That same year he was given the Gambit Big Easy Award for Best Country/Folk Artist.
He is recently coming off of a solo tour of the United Kingdom as well as performances at both the French Quarter Festival and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
He has toured solo for much of his career, and that troubadour element is certainly present, an usher of modern day folklore.
His latest group, The Andrew Duhon Trio brings a new musicality to the tunes with upright bassist, Myles Weeks and drummer, Maxwell Zemanovic. Since recording ‘The Moorings’ together as their first project, the Trio has been crossing the American landscape, touring and creating together, the thoughtful colors of the trio breathing a new musicality and direction into Duhon’s songwriting traditions.
“Another world-class voice is heard from Louisiana, another soulful, mesmerizing singer who writes emotional songs with impact and heart. Andrew Duhon is a troubadour for the next generation, a story-teller for his generation.” – ArtistHouseMusic.com
“He was performing as the Andrew Duhon Trio at the Hotel Café on Friday night in Los Angeles, and his powerful and warm voice immediately conquered the place and the audience. He is a guy with a strong presence, although not overwhelming, and his acoustic sound captivated me at the first song.” – Rock NYC?
