Lineup: 2010

Andy Cotter Trio

Fredericton, NB

Born and raised in Canada’s East coast, Andy Cotter has been perfecting his songwritting and performing by touring relentlessly as well as learning from his peers. Between Rock band “The Spaces” and Solo gigs Andy has logged over 200 shows this past year in front of all ages. He now sets out with his debut solo record “Time for Everything” to further his musical expression and continue adding to a flourishing Canadian music scene. Andy is set on injecting his unique folk funk rock expression of songwritting and lyricism with his power three piece including Rich Gloade (Bass) and Scotty Sampson (drums) . The versatility of the band allows them to play high energy Rock funk sets or intimate acoustic venues.

Together along with the multi-instrumental talents of Andy they produced a warm underlying tone that crosses many ages of listeners and can be related to Sounds of Phish, Beach Boys, Blues and Motown. Bar-tending in his off time @ the Legendary Capital Complex in Fredericton New Brunswick lends insight to his deep roots in the Indie Music Scene of Canada. The Bar showcases the best touring bands (and Beer) from all over the country as well as many great local acts.
