Andy Culpepper

Andy Culpepper was born and raised near Ithaca, NY. He picked up the guitar at the age of 16 and began to devote himself to mastering all styles of guitar playing, from classical to the blues, before settling on Flamenco as his ideal mode of expression. While attending the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Andy studied with the master guitarist Tito Rubio, a student of the great Juan Maya “Marote”. Andy’s style incorporates elements of both modern and traditional Flamenco, while always striving to maintain the purity and depth of this beautiful art form. Among his greatest influences are Paco de Lucia, Moraito and Pepe Habichuela, as well as the singers Camarón, Fernanda de Utrera, and Pastora Pavón. Read more on Last.fm.
