About the Album
Strat Andriotis is a consummate guitarist. While known first and foremost as a jazz musician, Andriotis has proven himself fluent in many styles, as evidenced by the seven rock-and- classical imbued albums he has released under his own name. Andriotis’ compositional style is uniquely his own - he’s taken to describing his approach to writing as ‘sweet and sour.’ A native of Greece, Andriotis immigrated to Hamilton, Ontario with his family as a child. After years spent studying the piano and playing along with records by Cream and Jimi Hendrix, his life changed forever when he heard Miles Davis’ iconic record In a Silent Way for the first time, prompting his decision to dive into jazz head first. Since then, Andriotis has performed and recorded with pianist Tom Carney, the rock group Eleven Degrees, drummer Albert Bouchard (Blue Oyster Cult), legendary bassist Tony Levin, and many others; his past recordings boast an impressive list of collaborators including jazz luminaries like Grammy winning pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba and violinist Jerry Goodman (Mahavishnu Orchestra.) His new album Exits features two contrasting trios weaving their way through eight of his beautiful compositions. With his trusted Fender Stratocaster, Andriotis has once again proven himself to be a virtuosic, thoughtful and expressive bandleader. Exits was released worldwide on Friday, January 17th 2025.
