Happy Birthday, Glen David Andrews!

Trombonist and vocalist Glen David Andrews was born in New Orleans on April 26, 1980. Andrews hails from a musical family, with grandfather Jesse Hill of “Ooh Poo Pa Doo” fame, brother Derrick Tabb of Rebirth Brass Band, cousin of brothers Troy “Trombone Shorty” and James Andrews, and cousin to the late Travis “Trumpet Black” Hill. Andrews learned about brass bands from greats like Tuba Fats and by second line parades in the Tremé neighborhood of his youth. And, at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, Andrews mesmerizes audiences with his showmanship and energy. He is a beloved and charismatic live performer, and today we join in the celebration. Happy Birthday!
