Born and raised in Austin, Texas, Andrews began playing guitar at age 5, taught by his father, John Andrews of the 60's Roots Band Mother Earth. Since the age of 8 he has been trading licks with and opening for such masters as Albert King, B.B. King, Albert Collins, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, and Jimmie Vaughan, starting at his hometown’s legendary club Antone’s. By his early teens he was wowing audiences and fellow musicians at such premier blues venues as B.B. King's in Memphis and Los Angeles and Slim's in San Francisco. He has performed at major festivals such as the San Francisco Blues Festival and Madison Blues Festival with Ray Charles. Andrews has been featured on CBS, Austin City Limits, Guitar Player, Texas Monthly and Vintage Guitar among numerous other publications. Jake has toured and played with artists including the Allman Brothers, The Doobie Brothers, Susan Tedeschi, Boz Scaggs, Buddy Guy, Gary Clark Jr. and George Thorogood. In 2017 Jake released his newest album “In The Shadows”. The album delivers a 21st century wall of sound-heavy songs and intense vocals make for a powerful, tough, rockin’ guitar heaven. Leaning more towards rock than blues, “In The Shadows” is not for the faint of heart. The title track is tailor made for rock-radio and has the potential to be a breakout hit.
