Westside Andy & Mel Ford     (the Band)

Westside Andy & Mel Ford have been a huge draw for swing dancers for years in Westside AndyMilwaukee at their most popular long time venue - the Ale House.  For Dancers they play a hoppin' mix of  swingin' blues, jumpin' swing standards, and slow & sexy blues.  Watch Out!  Upright Bass, Piano, and the Occasional Sit In with Barrel House Chuck will have your feet moving and hips popping in no time.  Now they bring their unique talents to Madison Area Dancers.   

Blues Brother Dan Aykroyd calls Andy Linderman “one of the most dynamic electric harmonica players of our generation.”

Jazz performer and producer Ben Sidran calls Mel Ford “one of the finest blues players in the Midwest if not the country.”

Put “one of the most dynamic electric harmonica players” on the same stage as “one of the finest blues players in the Midwest if not the country” and you have one of the most exciting blues groups in the country: The Westside Andy & Mel Ford Band.

Andy Linderman and Mel Ford have played together for years. But because of their “other commitments,” this is the first time they’ve made it official.
