Andre Thierry 6:45pm - 8:00pm – Andre Theirry https://www.andrethierry.com/ Andre Thierry is an exceptional, multi-dimensional musician with a finely honed ability to merge his accordions with musical mastery. Although born and raised in Richmond, California, Andre's French-Kreole heritage is deeply rooted in Louisiana. He embarked on a path with specific knowledge and extraordinary talents at a very young age. True to his culture and love of music, he has crafted a career well beyond his years as an artist. Andre's style isn't conventional; he and his accordions provide a signature sound by creating magnetic, sonic landscapes. The rhythmic songs drive an atmospheric blend, giving his band a powerful edge, naturally building a dedicated following through performing, touring, and a string of album recordings.
