The Walker Broad Band on Facebook: www.facebook.com/walkerbroadmusic. The Walker Broad Band website: www.walkerbroad.co.uk. Sandy Walker and Andy Broad stared working together in early 2010 to work on a couple of songs that Sandy wanted to perform at the regular jam that Andy was hosting. The jam went very well, so they decided to keep working together, this time Sandy brought along some lyrics she had been working on, Andy immediately found a chord progression that fitted. It quickly became evident that there was a lot more going on here than just a few blues standards, Sandy is a prolific lyricist with a good ear for melody and harmony and Andy has a wealth of chordal and rhythmic ideas. Sandy soon threw her piano playing skills into the pot to add yet more spice to the mix. Sandy's roots are more folky with an interest in jazz whilst Andy is an established Blues performer also with a side line in Jazz. The resulting original music is a unique blend of all three, with lively latin inspired foot tappers and jazz tinged ballads and a couple of out an out bluesers, every song with it's own story. As well as song writing they have a keen interest in performing of course, their live set includes an ever changing selection of their own songs plus a few blues and jazz standards, and one or two traditional folk numbers. @walkerbroad
