Andrew Block is a New Orleans based funk, soul and rhythm & blues guitarist who has shared the stage and studio with legendary artists such as Gramatik, Pretty Lights, GRiZ, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk, Russ Liquid, Oteil Burbridge, Eric Krasno, Adam Deitch, and George Porter Jr. He is either a member of, or performs frequently with The Nigel Hall Band, The John "Papa" Gros Band and Terence Higgins' Swampgrease, and a former member of Big Sam's Funky Nation, Corey Henry's Treme Funktet, Mia Borders, and Russell Batiste & Friends. He has also played along side numerous artists at the Bear Creek Music & Art Festival, where he was as an artist-at-large from 2010-2012. In May of 2014, he was called on to record with Grammy Nominated DJ/Producer Pretty Lights, for his upcoming album and is currently touring with EDM star Gramatik.

Block's tasty and soulful funk chops, honed on countless gigs on Frenchmen St. are prominent on his debut record, You Can Only Go Up From Here, which was produced by Grammy winning producer, John Porter (B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Taj Mahal, Los Lonely Boys). Some of New Orleans' funkiest musicians Raymond Weber, Nigel Hall, Terence Higgins, Tony Hall and Ivan Neville round out a rhythm section that provide a danceable, grooving foundation for the soulful guest vocals of New Orleans' own Erica Falls and Nick Daniels III. The tight, JB's-esque horn arrangements were provided by Ryan Zoidis, of Lettuce and Soulive.
