Andy Just is a unique harmonica player who carries his distinctive approach to the blues. His high-energy playing and soulful singing gives his audiences a full measure of what he has learned and experienced. He has fronted several bands in the San Francisco area and over the years performed with a long list of the very “Best of Blues” performers including: B.B. King, Bo Diddley, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Albert King, Robben Ford, and many, many others.

Andy Just is inevitably at his best in the live setting where the energy of the audience and the thrill of spontaneous creation seem to feed his inspiration, SMOKIN’ TRACKS is an impressive and enduring testament to that fact. Andy Just drives the blues with fire and passion, for the listeners it is an experience not to be missed !
