Curtis Andrews, everyone’s favourite upbeat, boubou-wearing Newfoundland percussionist with a school named after him in Ghana is back for a gig at this year’s World Sound festival.
He relocated to Vancouver this summer, but he’s returning tonight to whip up some “world jazz niceness” at The Ship, similar to his work from his album released earlier this year.
The two nights after that (Friday and Saturday) he’ll be reuniting with the Idlers as their drummer for shows at the Dock on George.
Then shortly after that he’ll be jetting over to Japan (seriously!) to drum with another local reggae band, The Discounts.
Anyway, all that to say the guy’s in demand, and that you should definitely check out his original music tonight.
World Sound is presented every two years by the Sound Symposium. In addition to Andrews, this year the three-day festival is bringing in a dance band from Louisiana and an Indian music virtuoso. You can learn more about the three-day festival at the Sound Symposium website.

BTW: Tonight’s show is on at 8pm, and they mean it. “2 sets only so if you come late you’ll miss out,” says Curtis
