About Andrew:<\/em> Whether composing and arranging or appearing in settings ranging from solo artist to big band, this St. Cloud, Minnesota native, who criss-crosses the bold North playing dates big and small, is as respectful of his predecessors as he is ready to take a leap into the unknown and chart a new course.<\/p>\n

In his monthly, sold-out shows with his 10-piece band, Walesch is a traditionalist and an iconoclast rolled into one. His audiences include jazz enthusiasts of a certain age, as well as a younger crowd compelled by his down-home insouciance, and the knowing irreverence of a tried-and-true American nightclub entertainer. \u201cAlthough they are my idols, I don\u2019t attempt to imitate the great pop and jazz artists of the 50\u2019s and 60\u2019s,\u201d says the singer and pianist, \u201cbut I go for broke when we do our shows – vocally and musically – which is what they all did best and why they were in a class of their own. I take risks, but I\u2019m from Minnesota, so I\u2019ve got jumper cables in the trunk.\u201d<\/p>\n

His vocal and piano chops, along with his keen sensibility to find and interpret a great lyric, have lead to some great opportunities for Walesch, including an appearance on the nationally syndicated NPR broadcast Mountain Stage.<\/p>\n
