Andrew Winton
In 2007 Andrew was nominated for a West Australian Music Industry (WAMI) award for best blues/roots artist, and spent 6 weeks touring the US & Canada having been invited to perform at the prestigious SxSW Music Festival in Austin, Texas and also Canadian Music Week in Toronto. In 2007 Andrew made memorable appearances at most key Australian festivals including Woodford Folk Festival, West Coast Blues & Roots, Blues on Broadbeach (QLD) and many others, along with numerous other shows around Australia. 2008 also proved successful with a WAMI nomination for Best Guitarist, and a finalist spot in the International Songwriting Competition. His third album ‘The Decompression Chamber’ (2006) continued to receive critical acclaim (including a recent glowing review in US publication Vintage Guitar Magazine). “I'm sitting here on a Sunday morning simply overwhelmed by The Decompression Chamber! It is immediately one of my favourite albums of 2006 and I'm only up to track 3! Lyrically strong and melodically rich, Andrew's playing is superb, the arrangements are stunning, the production outstanding. What more can anyone want?" John Carver PBSfm Melbourne. “The first thing you should know about Andrew Winton is that he’s a seriously good guitarist… In company with some of Australia’s finest singer-songwriters, most notably Jeff Lang, Winton uses a blues base for many of his creations, slipping into jazz grooves, even gospel mode, here and there.” Rhythms Magazine.
