Andy Blue

Andy is one of the most innovative, versatile & generally amazing guitarists I have had the pleasure to know personally, he is also my partner in music & life. I've been filming Andy in various locations around wellington, as he develops some exciting new directions with his music. His influences range from Jimi Hendrix & Stevie Ray Vaugn, to Segovia & Django Reinhardt. Andy is totally self taught, he listens to a vast range of music & is constantly pushing himself to expand & develop his music. Starting playing on the street from a young age, forced to fend for himself from his teenage years, the street was for many years his home & his refuge. Andy has always found solace & self expression in the guitar. Although Andy struggles at times to communicate in English,(having grown up in a Samoan family, & only discovering English when he started school at 5 yrs old), he is however, fluent in all languages of the guitar. Andy takes in influences from around the world, and blends them into something new, taking the listener on a journey around the world and across time with his truly unique interpretations. I hope that as I share more of his music, it will inspire you as much as it has inspired me.
