Powerful songwriting, explosive improvisation, and deep dance grooves: that’s what the Andrew and Noah Band brings to festival stages, concert halls, living rooms, and dance floors all over North America. The band features fiddle, accordion, mandolin, saxophone, guitars, bass, drums, and three-part harmony vocals. Their core material, written by brothers Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand, might best be described as Americana groove: a mix of Appalachian, Celtic, classic country and bluegrass, jazz and swing, cajun and zydeco, alternative folk, and roots rock, with various world music influences.
