ANDY LEE WHITE
Andy Lee White has been playing music in the southeast for over twenty years. He has been a member of touring bands, a member of an acoustic duo, and a solo acoustic performer. This is his first solo album after putting out an album as a group in the late 80's and as a duo in the early 90's. He has penned jingles for several political campaigns at both the state and national levels and has written theme songs for radio shows and national organizations. Andy Lee White wrote all of the songs for KUDZU ANIMALS and co-produced with Scott Patton and Bruce Bennett.
Scott Patton’s current claim to fame is as the lead guitarist for the impressive, charting, country act, Sugarland. He played the majority of the guitar and bass parts on KUDZU ANIMALS as well as a lot of piano. Bruce Bennett has produced music for over twenty years with hundreds of different acts and varying musical styles. He owns his own studio in Atlanta and keeps an insanely busy schedule.
White sang all of the vocal parts on KUDZU ANIMALS and played guitar, bass, piano and harmonica.
All of the players are Atlanta based with impressive credits and extensive resumes. Three drummers played on the album, with Jeff Sipe (Col. Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit), playing on four of the eleven songs. Mike Grando (Blueground Undergrass) plays on five cuts while Billy Pitts (Georgia Satellites) plays on two. Tom Grose (Tom Grose and the Varsity) played a rocking piano and a psychedelic organ on a pair of songs and Bruce Bennett, who also has co-producer credits, played organ and piano on three songs. Donn Aaron, who has two solo albums of his own, plays lead guitar on three tracks and Thom Jenkins (Music Department Faculty at Woodward Academy in Atlanta) plays flute and the wooden frogs on the ballad “Now Is The Time”.
