https://www.mlamar.com/About Travis Andrews, guitars
Travis Andrews is the co-founder, executive director, and electric guitarist in The Living Earth Show. In that capacity, Andrews' performances have been praised as "mind-blowing" and "a vanguard effort of new chamber music" by the San Francisco Examiner and "emotional, transcendent, and at times bursting with raw post-rock power" by the Charleston City Paper. In his work, he strives to use the tools of classical and contemporary music to foreground the voices and perspectives often marginalized by the tradition and its presentation.
Highly in demand as a solo artist, Andrews has been a featured soloist with the San Francisco Symphony, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, Eco Ensemble, and the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble.
