Andrew Clermont Bio 2005
Where, with Who & How?
Andrew has finally settled down, nestled in 6 (or so) bands appearing
in Austria/ Kenya/ USA/ Canada/UK/ Germany/ Taiwan/ Malaysia/ Hong Kong/
Singapore/New Zealand/ and Australia wide! Pumpkin powered Totally Gourdgeous;
high hedge Bluegrass as The Lawnmowers (with 2 National Champions);
divine as Dya Singh (twice World Music Group of Australia); flying with
the Fiddlers Festival (group); benevolently overseeing The Supper Club;
very Australian as Terra Australis (Heritage Award & BushBand winners);
and Celtic Conundrums - to be sure, to be sure!
Andrew initiated the NoHoldsBarred Fiddle Contest and is a Director
to the Golden Fiddle Awards. These are both sponsored by Epoch Violins
with Andrew touring the unique 5-string Blue Chameleon and 4-string
Sunset models while also sponsored/ assisted by Maton Guitars, Gilchrist
Mandolins and White Swallow Banjos.
The last 8 years have seen Andrew Clermont’s International Supper
Club grow to full swing with artists from Tibet, Italy & Nepal to
Texas, Oklahoma & Taiwan and many of Australia’s own unique
Voice to Dance & Instrumentalists presented. Andrew is delighted
to have this ‘Fringe Festival’ (15 shows!) develop in his
home town - via the Tamworth Country Music Festival with also May &
Oct versions.
Family, Awards, Causes & fine Friends
Born in Adelaide in 61 and soon a ‘legend’ at his Primary
School concerts, Andrew has now resided near Tamworth for most of his
life; trained horses to ride off into the sunset on and taught/ mentored
a string of adventurous musicians across the country through workshops,
visits & lessons both direct & on Video.
His love of acoustic music gained him 3 Bluegrass Guitar Championships
(now a judge) and a Golden Guitar with the Three Chord Wonders at the
beginning of his working life. These days raising funds for causes,
local through to Kenya, bring greater reward - though not as much as
his many beautiful daughters & grandson plus family from Adelaide
through Tamworth to Berlin, Germany. Funnily enough it’s the regular
touring that keeps the family contact rolling along.
He is a tall, colourful and exuberant regular at many festivals -
even providing sound production to suit some of them. The only Artist
to Fairbridge Folk Fest to be invited to all four showcases of Mandolin,
Fiddle, Guitar & Gospel + Musicianship Award winner at Frances Folk
Gathering + a regular host of Fiddle Round Robins around the country.
But some fancier fiddling footwork is often more publicly seen with
friends like The Borderers, Tamerisque, Kavisha Mazzella, Pat Drummond,
The Waifs, Jeff Lang, Xavier Rudd or from USA - Tom T Hall, Kate Campbell,
Colin Brooks and ….
somewhere near you soon!
Recordings, Internet, Videos & Photos
There are some 17 or more CDs which present Andrew in the various groups,
Solo and with long time friend Pauline, into Meditation and Healing.
Most can be sampled at the extensive andrewclermont.com.au website with
many travel stories, photos world wide, and Concert Emovies to download.
Also waiting there are samples of the 4 Tuition Videos, and an entire
‘House’ of photos & linked pages to glean a more personal
insight to the last 22 years of world traveled music from the chameleon,
Andrew Clermont.
Andrew Clermont BIO Overview
From watching his brother & sister learning music, Clermont was
soon singing The Seekers songs at infant school in Adelaide. A few years
tuition, a "Guitar Favourites" record from the folks, "The
Ventures" from sister and "Dark Side of the Moon" /"Led
Zeppelin" from brother; add 9th year English teacher, Geoff Bridgland's,
introduction to Bluegrass (as a school elective!) and the seeds were
sown.
Funnily enough, the school music classes never turned him on. He just
appeared at the end of year concert, bewildering the music Dept.
Even before high school finished (I think there was a school mates band
called Jaguar), Andrew was co-ordinating gatherings of musicians in
school/ church halls for big jams.
Somehow that form has stuck. Recent years gatherings at Woodford World
Music festival with up to 14 on stage - from aboriginal chants, Indian
lilts to the fiddle fraternity plus Blues, Bluegrass & New Acoustic
devotees.
Leaving the louder electric realm for acoustic timbres, the formative
years with his brother Alex, late 70s early 80s, exploring bluegrass
and original ideas set Andrew's quick musical wit in place. Several
years with the admired Adelaide Newgrass group, Remnants, soaking knowledge,
vision and considerable Port(!), between Peter Hall (their banjo-man
& all instrument supplier!) and importer/ Radio presenter Neil Meaney
(now ABC Wodonga), cemented Andrew's musical approach (not the Port!).
After surviving the many round the clock sessions, parties, and a little
mechanical engineering training, the world of musical mingling and passing
on, was afoot. Add to that the appearance of a beautiful daughter every
4 or so years, 2 very full decades followed.
Highlights up to 2002
3 National Bluegrass Guitar Championships;
2 Cassettes & 4 CDs with award nominations, a Golden Guitar Award
and a nationally released record(!) with the Three Chord Wonders, plus
a vast swag of sessions. Then 5 years training horses (that wonderful
feeling of riding off into the sunset!); 10 home moves; 16 CDs and 5
Videos later, an annual Workshop Camp, Supper Club, National Fiddle
Contest and seventh world lap (2 to 3 months per year) between. There
seems little slowing down. Up to 30 festivals in a year with 5 main
groups, supporting numerous songwriters, overseas luminaries eg. Tom
T Hall (3 tours), as well as diverse solo adventures.
The only person to have appeared on all guitar, fiddle and mandolin
summits at WA's Fairbridge Folk Festival in the same weekend (2001).
He also recently received from his peers, the Musicianship Award at
the new Frances Folk Festival.
Sponsorships -
Maton Guitars, Gilchrist Mandolins and
Epoch Violins with close relations to Tucker Barrett Instruments, White
Swallow Banjos and Swales Gourd instruments.

Mini-Bio #2
ANDREW CLERMONT:
The borders of music tumble as multi-instrumentalist Clermont challenges
the musical moment with his unique ability to be a chameleon with a
host of artists, whether on Violin, Viola, Guitars, Mandolin, Bass,
Double bass, Tenor Banjo, Didgeridoo, Dulcimer, or Voice, all played
with equal fervour and style.
From cutting crazy
tunes with the jester of Jazz guitar Ian Date, to choreographing with
violin demon Ian Cooper, or rinsing lines with jazz violinist George
Washingmachine. Jeff Lang literally threw his guitar off at Woodford
when their duet performance could go no higher! Beside the songwriters
- Pat Drummond, Norma O’Hara Murphy, Brent Parlane, Elizabeth
Lord, Greg Champion, and Beccy Cole, USA’s Tom T. Hall & Kate
Campbell, creating sound-scapes to their stories, he also recalls a
cherished duet with Paul Kelly.
In another breath
Andrew delivers Indian music with Dya Singh’s group - favourites
of the Woodford Festival, finding that uppermost level in the ragas.
Amongst a myriad of recordings for others, he has an acclaimed solo
CD ‘The Longing’, and releases with groups ‘Totally
Gourdgeous’, ‘Fiddlers Festival’ and Dya Singh.
Fiery Fiddlers
FROM THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH

and Port Fairy Festival. Fred has recorded two critically acclaimed
CD’s: ‘Rise a Mile’ with Tulca Mor and ‘What Borders’

TWAS A BIG, BIG NIGHT
ANDREW
CLERMONT:
The borders
of music tumble as Clermont challenges the musical moment. You saw him
fiddling on New Years Eve with Troy Cassar Daley; The Waifs, Tom T Hall
(when he’s in Oz) and Jeff Lang literally threw his guitar off
when their Xmas duel at Woodford could go no higher. However Andrew
did slip in with India(n) group Dya Singh and found that uppermost level
in the ragas.
His CD - The Longing - is a smorgasbord of acoustic finery. Watch
for the new releases with “Totally Gourdgeous” “Dya
Singh” & “Fiddlers Festival”. Folk to jazz, bluegrass,
blues, and a little down home country - after all he did win 3 Bluegrass
Guitar Championships as well!
Watch him go from calm to berserk with flair!

Andrew
has produced a dozen definitive albums for assorted artists and can

Just call to discuss your musical needs for a solution.
Andrew was born on June 5th, 1961 in Adelaide, South Australia and from
his early efforts on the guitar and singing Seekers songs when just six
years old, he has progressed to become one of Australia's leading musicians
and Bluegrass exponents - a virtuoso on instruments as diverse as the
fiddle, the mandolin and the didgeridoo. He has toured extensively right
across Australia and through the outback with the likes of Johnny Chester,
Brian Young, Tammy Wynette, Tom T. Hall, Allison Durban and James Blundell.
A regular performer at Tamworth and other CM festivals and at many folk
festivals, Andrew has worked with numerous artists including The Dead
Ringer Band, Beccy Cole, Troy Cassar-Daley, Greg Champion, Brent Parlane,
Jim Haynes and Pat Drummond.
Andrew
was the National Bluegrass Flatpick Guitar Champion in 1984, 1985 and
1987 and is currently a Bluegrass Championship Judge. A member of the
Three Chord Wonders from 1985 to 1988, he shared their Golden Guitar
for "Losin' My Blues Tonight" in 1987. Overseas tours have taken Andrew
to Spain for the World Expo in 1992 and to Sweden, Norway, Austria and
his family's homeland, Germany, in 1995; closely followed by a UK tour
with Norma O'Hara Murphy. Then in 1996, he spent four months performing
in Taiwan.
Andrew's
long awaited third album, "The Longing", was released in 1997 and featured
many friends - the best talent available anywhere - including guitarist
Steve Berry. Andrew now makes his home near Moonbi, north-east of Tamworth,
and daughter, Nayia Michelle (who appears with dad in the above photo),
is destined for big things in the music world - despite her tender years,
when she sings, you just know that she is singing from the heart
