Gambit: Best of New Orleans, Artist Mention >>
Brushy One-String
As his name implies, Brushy One-String's (real name: Andrew Chin) hallmark is his one-string guitar. But the Jamaican artist, whose father was soul singer Freddie McKay and whose mother was a backup singer for Tina Turner and others, is captivating beyond what could be seen as a gimmick – rounding out the one-string plucking are his gentle percussive taps on the guitar's body and his soul- and jazz-influenced voice. Following an appearance in the documentary Rise Up, Chin became a YouTube star garnering thousands of hits per video. He releases his first studio album Destiny at the end of April, and Galactic's Ben Ellman says the band plans to record a song with Chin.
