Andrew Duhon

Andrew Duhon plays a solo-billed concert at McCabe’s Guitar Shop, in the shop’s back-room listening space. The room is reached through the instrument store, with folding-chair seating facing a small stage amid guitars and other stringed instruments. With no bar and an audience gathered to listen, it is a setting suited to acoustic detail, lyrics and Duhon’s story-led songs.

Duhon is a New Orleans-born, New Orleans-based singer-songwriter whose work draws on blues, folk, country and a touch of New Orleans groove. His official bio describes him as a storyteller with an “undeniable voice, weighted and soulful.” Though he often performs with the Andrew Duhon Trio, featuring bassist Myles Weeks and drummer Jim Kolacek on three-part harmonies, this date is billed under Duhon’s name alone. He has shared stages with Guster, Blind Pilot and Amos Lee. LA Beat’s John Scott wrote that Duhon brings “the craft of a master short story writer to his songs,” while Artistic House Music’s John Snyder called him “a soulful, mesmerizing singer” and “a story-teller for his generation.”
