I am a singer/songwriter/pianist in the pop/rock genre. I grew up on

you like to dance, well, you're in luck!
=95 10:00P Drew Questell (blues) and Andy Coats (blues/rock/folk)
Drew Questell is a blues guitarist, vocalist, and harmonica player
from Raleigh, North Carolina. He grew up listening to mostly country
music on the local radio stations, and it wasn't until later that Drew
picked up playing guitar. Around the age of ten, he started taking
guitar lessons. As time went by, he improved his craft and eventually,
his music caught the ear of a local radio host. Through this man, Drew
was exposed to the blues in its raw form. He was introduced to John
Dee Holeman, the Bull Durham Blues player who inspired Drew to leave
country music behind and set his sights on a new genre; the Blues.
Since then, Drew has played many venues throughout the triangle area.
His music has been heard on the air through NPR radio stations like
88.9FM in Raleigh, and 91.5FM in Chapel Hill. Drew has also been
featured on NPR 's nationally syndicated radio program "The Story." He
is currently working with many locally and nationally acclaimed blues
artists from around the nation. Drew is also working on his first CD,
which he hopes to release sometime this year.
Andy Coats has been involved in music since his early teens, when he
sang and played in a hard rock band and later a progressive rock band.
>From there he worked his way back to the genres in which so much rock
is rooted: the blues and other roots based music. "My passion for this
sort of music really came to a head when I was about 25 years of age.
I was living in Southern California, struggling through graduate
school, and it was then that the magic of the blues masters fully hit
me. I dove head first into Robert Johnson's material, listening to it
daily." The most recent chapter of his career has brought Andy back to
the place he was born: the Piedmont region of North Carolina. Now
based in Raleigh, he has begun performing at places big and small,
doing as much as he can to keep the blues alive. In addition to
writing and recording a new batch of songs, Andy has begun delving
more into the so-called "Piedmont" blues and working out the styles of
such titans as Blind Boy Fuller and the Rev. Gary Davis.

Sunday Mar 22
=95 7P Jazz Jam at The Broad St. Cafe w/ Aaron Mills
As the audacious bassist of classic funk act Cameo, Aaron Mills has
inspired a generation of groovy musicians - some of whom he now works
with (OutKast, Gwen Stafani, Cee-Lo). Aaron has been playing at the
Cafe for a few months now along with Wayne Kee, Bobby Hinton, and
others. Aaron is bringing Sunday jazz back to the Cafe in a format
that includes a cast of regulars as well as featured guest musicians
every week. If you are in any way a fan of jazz, this is not to be
missed.
