Funky soul, R&B, western swing, Jazz, Cajun, old -style blues, hillbilly, country, country rock,old-timey fiddlin’ – name a roots music style and Andy’s been there at the forefront. Early on, during an extended working holiday in the USA, Andy met and played with musical legends like David Grisman, Cajun greats Dewey Balfa and Mark Savoy, and Bob Wills’ fiddler Johnny Gimble. He hung out and played in Southern Juke Joints, Texas dancehalls and Cajun bars. Back home in the '90s Baylor was in constant demand running the Cajun Combo, freelancing and playing with internationals like a touring post- Zeppelin Robert Plant, jazz organist Jimmy McGriff and sax great Big Jay McNeely.
