Andon Davis has been playing music in the Chicago-Berwyn- Oak Park area for 32 years and along with the many bands he has been in The Riptones, Anna Fermin's Trigger Gospel, Situation Davis, Heartsfield, Ron Lazzaretti Band, Naomi Ashley band, Jenny Bienemann, Bunkertown, Real Pretenders,
He has just released an 8 song Album with backing from the various bands he has been playing with since 1993.
Al Rose is a mesmerizing, challenging, insightful and ultimately delightful songwriter with a unique command of wordplay combined with considerable musical acumen. His 8 albums have received a bevy of critical praise along with extensive airplay on AAA and Americana stations throughout the US and Europe. The Chicago-based performer has played coast-to-coast as well as Europe and Japan. A consummate and prolific live performer, Rose always puts on a wild yet cool spontaneous show—whether he’s solo, with a full band or some configuration in between. Think of the way a surprisingly loud crackly fire manages to give off a warm, steady glow and the picture comes clear.
As a craftsman, Al’s honed his songwriting to a fine edge. He’s got a real gift for melody, and each line cuts just the way he wants—whether to make you laugh or make you cry. He’s backed up the words with catchy, addictive tunes. It’s a kind of protest music. He’s sounding the alarm against complacency. Singing us sweetly through the dark, reaching for the sky, scattering catchy hooks and joyful choruses behind him as he goes.
