Andrea Iglar
Saxophone, Vocals

“[Dave] crosses over into jazz, which gives his daughter Andrea Iglar a chance to display her sizzling alto, tenor and soprano sax playing.”  
–CD Review, Beaver County Times/Allegheny Times, 2006

"She has her own following and loves to interact with the audience. She can also sing!"  -Blues Society of Western PA, 2008

"This year’s (Blues Go Pink) band again featured the lovely and talented Andrea Iglar on her wailing sax. ... She had people dancing, laughing, and just re-energizing after a long day."  -Blues Society of Western PA Newsletter, Oct. 2009



Bio
Andrea joined the band in fall 2003 as Dave’s first-ever saxophone player. Previously, she played and recorded with musicians and bands in Kent, OH and Seattle, WA.

In fourth grade, Andrea chose alto sax as her band instrument. She played in school bands then kept her beat-up Bundy in a closet until after college, when her Music Chromosome really kicked in (her dad inherited the same chromosome, an extra one passed down Iglar-to-Iglar). Now she can’t stop gigging. She won’t say where she got her lungpower.

Favorite Saxophone Movie Quote
"You don't want me, Sugar. I'm a liar and a phony, a saxophone player--one of those no-goodniks you keep running away from."
--Tony Curtis (Joe/Josephine) to Marilyn Monroe (Sugar Kowalczyk) in "Some Like It Hot" (1959)
