Born 1984 in Weilheim i. Ob., Andi Unter discovered his passion for the blues and its roots from an early age. His primary focus lies on the formative years of blues and the first-generation “bluesmen.” Their repertoire—shaped by swing, ragtime, gospel, and old-time jazz—forms the foundation of his musical inspiration.
🎵 Career & Band Formation
In 2011, Andi founded his band “Andis Bluesorchester.” With the group, he toured successfully for more than a decade—not only throughout Germany, but also internationally. His talent caught the attention of the South German record label Stormy Monday Records, resulting in two albums with the orchestra and one solo album.
👨👧 Family Time & One‑Man‑Band
Just before the COVID‑19 pandemic, Andi—now a father of two—took a well-deserved break to focus on family life. Yet in his adopted home in Southern Italy, he stayed creatively active: he developed a new solo project called “Lonesome Andy & his One Man Band,” playing up to seven instruments simultaneously—a remarkable multitasking feat.
