What People Are Saying About Andy Mazzilli!

"On stage alongside guitarist Warren Haynes of the Allman Brothers Band, Andy Mazzilli was also doing the dice and slice, and matched his every lick, and up there on the stage they reminded me of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts." - NICKEY BAXTER, METRO MAGAZINE, SAN JOSE

"With whiz kid Andy Mazzilli on guitar, they can go from a T-Bone Walker lope to some sizzling Elmore James-style slide guitar blues in a fast minute.  Listening to the notes pour forth from Mazzilli's guitar really gives one hope for the future.  You're going to hear a lot about Mazzilli before too much longer." - MILES JORDAN, CHICO NEWS AND REVIEW

"I think Andy Mazzilli might be the best guitarist I know in New York City." - JOHN POPPER, BLUES TRAVELER

"Guitar Shorty, who has worked with Ray Charles and Etta James, and as legend has it, taught Jimi Hendrix how to play the "Star Spangled Banner", appears in the San Jose Blues Festival with Andy Mazzilli, a young, contemporary rock influenced player whose traditional blues background adds an even more modern flare to the Shorty experience." - DOUGLAS J. FINE, METRO MAGAZINE

"Andy's my Youngblood, my young dear friend, listening to him play is kind of like listening in on what heaven sounds like." - PINETOP PERKINS, LONGTIME PIANO PLAYER FOR THE MUDDY WATERS BAND

"Guitar Genius.  He is wild, relentless, innovative & tireless.  Plays a mean fiddle too, and even harmonica." - JOHNNY NITRO, LEGENDARY SF GUITARIST SHOWMAN, LEADER OF JOHNNY NITRO AND THE DOORSLAMMERS

"Andy Mazzilli amazes you with his versatility.  He reminds you of Albert King, B.B. King, T-Bone Walker and Wes Montgomery.  Very unusual for a young musician to perform like all those greats.  You have to hear him live on stage to really appreciate his virtuosity." - THE OAKLAND POST

"If you follow the South Bay music scene at all, you're familiar with Andy Mazzilli, he with nimble fingers.  One night he's sharing the stage with blues-soul man James Armstrong, and the next he's strumming and shanking with reggae hotshots Equal Solution." - NICKEY BAKER, METRO MAGAZINE

"An up-and-coming singer/guitarist whose blues style leans in the rock direction of Stevie Ray Vaughan." BAM MAGAZINE

"This dynamic guitarist/New York City expatriate is the one to watch out for, Chris Cain and you other South Bay guitar gods, because Mazzilli is a real comer!" - METRO MAGAZINE

"I would like to thank Andy Mazzilli for NOT being one of the nominees this year." - CHRIS CAIN, in his acceptance speech for winning the Best Guitarist Award, presented by the SOUTH BAY BLUES SOCIETY
