The Andy Rothstein Band – Truth Against The World
American Andy Rothstein was born in Brooklyn, New York, and played guitar at the age of fourteen. He graduated from Rutgers University, where he studied music and computer science. He also received private lessons. Andy developed several electronic adaptations for electric guitars, and is therefore labeled as a versatile and tasteful player, with a unique sound.
He transcribed music under the pseudonym Andy Robyns. In 2006 he made his debut as a bandleader with the album ‘Voodoo Tone’, which features bassist Tony Senatore (Rook, Genya Raven), trumpeter Steve Jankowski (Nile Rodgers & Chic, Chicago, Blood, Sweat, and Tears), saxophonist Tom Timko (Miami Sound Machine, Blood Sweat and Tears, Toto), and drummer Lou Petto (One More Once) played along.
The following year followed the album ‘Wit of the Staircase’ with trumpeters Lew Soloff & Steve Jankowski, drummer Van Romaine (Steve Morse, Jack McDuff, Enrique Iglesias), percussionist Manolo Badrena (Weather Report, Steve Khan, Spyro Gyra), saxophonists Andy Snitzer (Billy Joel, Paul Simon, The Rolling Stones) and Tom Timko, and keyboardists Pete Levin and Tom Hammer.
