Exciting News!
This exciting news just in about Andy Bey. Andy performs this Tuesday at 7:30PM in the Esplanade Theatre in double bill with Cuban born pianist Hilario Duran. We’re catching Andy on a world wide up-swing for sure.
Collin Artists is pleased to congratulate jazz legend Andy Bey on winning the Jazz Journalist Association 2008 Jazz Award for Best Male Singer! 
Currently on a seven city Canadian Jazz Festival tour, Mr. Bey has received rave reviews since the release of his most recent CD, "Ain't Necessarily So" (12th Street Records), and has been performing to packed houses and enthusiastic fans around the world.  His other recordings include "American Song", for which he received a Grammy Award nomination, "Tuesdays in Chinatown, "Shades of Bey" and "Ballads, Blues and Bey".
