Playing and singing his hot fingerpicking acoustic instrumentals, ragtimey blues, and funny songs, ANDY POLON paints musical tapestries from his huge repertoire of songs and instrumentals:

Including

• Ragtime Guitar--from Jelly Roll Morton to New York Finger Rolls
• Country Fingerpickin--from Merle Travis to Merle & Doc
• Early Jazz and JAZZ STANDARDS
• Blues from Lightnin' Hopkins to Wes Montgomery
• Rock & Roll and 60s Music
• --and his own lively original songs and cookin' guitar picking!

"Wow. People just don't pick guitar like this anymore. "An incredible CD of 14 songs by master-picker Andy Polon, harking back to some of the great old-style rag players like Dave Van Ronk. Andy's is a name you're going to be hearing mentioned right along side of great players like Van Ronk and Frank Christian for years to come. "
Matthew Smith - FolkWeb Music Director

"Master Guitarist and songwriter ANDY POLON is back, with an array of R&B, jazz, blues, humorous, and Totally Terrific original songs!" 22 Below Coffeehouse, NYC

"It’s not just his masterful blues, ragtime, and swing guitar picking, or even his wacky, irreverent original songs. We book Andy because when he takes the stage, he puts so much energy in the air, our electric meter starts running backwards. ...

"ANDY POLON is one of the unheralded talents of New York's folk scene. He is a highly accomplished and imaginative guitarist, leaning towards the jazz end of the guitar spectrum. He plays his own material and great complex arrangements of everything from folk standards to Tin Pan Alley. He is wonderfully loose on stage. His relaxed manner invites audience empathy and reaction." Minstrel Show Coffeehouse, NJ
