Troy "Satchmo" Anderson
Louis Armstrong Tribute Artist in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Troy Anderson and The Wonderful World Band is one of the finest bands to hit The South Florida beat.

Anderson's Armstrong is too natural to be called uncanny, He starts out with the look and slips easily into the rest, the dinner jacket,the trumpet-with hanky,the roly-poly voice and the joie de vivre.
