Biography:

The Nina Beck Trio features vocalist, ANDY COWAN, an award-winning writer/performer (Seinfeld, 3rd Rock From the Sun, Cheers) whose natural command of the classic songbook AND lyrics separates him from the other pretenders to the throne. This Who's Who in America biographee has graced jazz clubs and special events throughout Los Angeles (and radio and TV) for over two decades, his youthful appearance notwithstanding, beginning with his breakthrough performance of "Sinatra" singing pop and rock songs of the '80s accompanied by Jack Sheldon, Plas Johnson & the rest of the stellar Mort Lindsey Orchestra on The Merv Griffin Show.

Andy's original country blues tune, Hitchin' on the Highway of Life (music, lyrics & vocals ... http://anthrosop.tripod.com/hitchindemo/) has won five international songwriting nods and is featured in the film he wrote and appears in, Knocked Down (an official selection in the 2008 San Fernando Valley International Film Festival and 2009 Southeast New England Film, Music & Arts Festival, where it won for best comedy) and selected for the Michael Madsen action film, Hired Gun.

NINA BECK's keyboard prowess has been likened to world-renowned artists Diana Krall, Kenny Barron, and Marian MacPartland. A seasoned player/songwriter and veteran of major venues throughout Los Angeles, she's accompanied such greats as jazz and blues legendary vocalist Ernie Andrews.

RICK DANTE's technical skills on the drums identify him as the consummate musician's musican in Los Angeles, always relied upon for staying in the pocket and on the beat.

Their basic configuration of top flight musicians - keyboard, bass, drums, vocals - can be augmented with sax/flute.

THIS GROUP'S TOP-NOTCH QUALITY AND PROFESSIONALISM CAN LEND AN EXCITING AIR TO ANY EVENT... AT A PRICE THAT'S EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE!
