New Orleans native and Grammy-nominated Andrew Duhon has been busy racking up rave reviews over the past decade. On Friday, May 23 he makes a rare appearance in Maine, performing just one show, at the historic Opera House in Boothbay Harbor. Traveling with his trio, audiences can anticipate an upbeat musicality to his tunes with upright bassist, Myles Weeks and drummer, Jim Kolacek singing three part harmony.

Raved John Snyder of Artistic House Music, “Another world-class voice is heard from Louisiana, another soulful, mesmerizing singer who writes emotional songs with impact and heart. Andrew Duhon is a troubadour for the next generation, a story-teller for his generation. Measured in the blues with the gift of narrative, Andrew¹s songs will not only make you think, they will make you sing along, days later. This a young artist to watch, and to hear, as soon as you can find a way."

Of his first album, “One of the best things I’ve heard all year…If the songs on this album are anything to go by, Andrew Duhon will be a big name before long…Duhon brings the craft of a master short story writer to his songs and in doing so creates a series of skillfully rendered vignettes,” says John Scott of the LA Beat.
