ANDY WALO in CHICAGO

I met Aaron Burton (former bass player with Albert Collins) when they toured Denmark 1992. They saw me perform at a club in Copenhagen, and his drummer Tino Cortes who's now one of my best friends, is the person who actually convinced me to move to Chicago in the spring of -93, I'd been most places in the states as a kid but had no clue I would ever live in Chicago. In Chi-Town I sat in with all the Blues-greats; Buddy Guy, Big Time Sarah and soul singer Otis Clay. And almost right away was asked to go on the road with people I didn't know anything about. I shared tours & stages with Bo Diddley, J.J. Cale, Canned Heat, Koko Taylor, The Ohio Players and classic rock heroes the Blue Oyster Cult, all this during my first years in Chicago!
