Saturday, June 20, 2026 at 7:30pm at Fiddler's Dream Coffeehouse, 1702 East Glendale Avenue, Phoenix AZ 85020, $10, KN95+ masks required and provided free. Doors open 7pm. For nearly a decade in New Orleans, Americana singer-songwriter Tom Andes has been delighting audiences with his stories of love and loss. His sound draws from influences including Delta blues, traditional country, Western swing, and gospel, his baritone voice and cinematic lyrics taking the listener into scenes from the lives of the down-and-outs and dreamers who populate his songs. In a favorable review, writing for Offbeat, Dan Willging called the title track of Tom’s debut, “Static on Every Station,” “infectious with charge-ahead energy spearheaded by Andes’ searing guitar tones.” Tom has participated in the Mississippi Songwriters Festival, the Ozone Songwriter Festival, and has played guitar for Emily Neustrom and the Fried Honeys, who performed as part of Festival International and the Baton Rouge Blues Festival. He’s been a finalist in the Monsoon Music House Songwriting Contest, the Telluride Blues Challenge from the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival, and his band performed in the 2025 Crawdaddy Blues Fest. In 2024, Tom relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he is gigging with several bands, as a solo performer, and with his own band. The Ones That Brought You Home (Southern Crescent Recording Co. 2025) collects Tom’s two acclaimed EPs on vinyl. Tom is also an accomplished fiction writer of fiction, with work in Best American Mystery and Suspense Stories 2025 and a novel, Wait There Till You Hear from Me (Crescent City Books 2025). His next record, Wonderful Days, produced by Matthew Tobais, is due in early 2026, with a story collection coming from Cowboy Jamboree Press in the fall.
