"Walesch croons in a way that evokes Sinatra without imitating him"
– Rhythm and Grooves
Like a good many before him, singer and pianist Andrew Walesch manages to encapsulate the sophistication of a cosmopolite and the self-effacing charm of a country boy. Andrew Walesch and his big band, filled with many Twin Cities’ big band and jazz legends, will take you through a journey in time to celebrate Frank Sinatra’s legendary career.
Leading his all-star big band packed with local sidemen legends, showman Andrew Walesch kidnaps the Blue Eyes tradition and makes it his own in his jazz-bent Sinatra revue that jams venues all over the Midwest and beyond with a uniquely cross-generational audience.
Members:
Andrew Walesch (vocals, piano)
Bob Parsons, Dave Karr, Bruce Thornton (reeds)
Mark Bobnick, Steve Wagner, Dave Graf (brass)
