Andy Leftwich - "Through the East Gate" by Syntax Creative published on 2021-02-24T15:57:59Z Leftwich is a 4x GRAMMY-winning instrumentalist, joining Ricky Skaggs' Kentucky Thunder band while still a teenager. Building an impressive list of Nashville studio credits over the years, and in addition to his collaborations with Skaggs, Leftwich also released two critically acclaimed albums as a member of Three Ring Circle (with dobro player Rob Ickes and bassist Dave Pomeroy). He's been playing the fiddle since the age of six, winning national awards all over the country before becoming a professional all before the age of 20. Reminding Leftwich of friends and family coming together to play music, “Through the East Gate” is an instrumental tour de force that offers both excitement and a stylistic tour across the years of old-time string band music to the sophisticated arrangements of today’s bluegrass. It's a multi-dimensional work that serves as an introduction to a musician who's already made a place in music before going solo. Genre Bluegrass
