The Andrew Thelston Band has been stunning audiences in the WNC region (and beyond) for 5 years. Frontman Thelston is the creative force, bringing high-energy, funk-infused original rock n’ roll that draws influence from Prince, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin, and Queen. Thelston is widely known for his guitar virtuosity and soaring vocals. Bassist Roddy Wilder and drummer Jeff Lott create a rock solid rhythm for Thelston’s guitar and vocals. Singer-songwriter/keyboardist Carrie Morrison fills out the band’s sound with powerhouse vocals and technical prowess. In 2019, Thelston’s original music was featured on the hit Netflix show “Lucifer.” In 2022, Thelston was voted one of the top guitarists in Asheville’s Best of WNC competition by Mountain Xpress, while the band was voted 2nd favorite rock band.
