PANAMA CITY - ANDREW JED

Songs from the open road – seasoned musician, Andrew Jed releases bluegrass single ‘Panama City’. “‘Panama City’ brings all of those stories together into one rather unfortunate situation for a man whose poor choices have finally caught up with him.” The best part about American bluegrass music, is its ability to truly showcase the performer’s talent – be it on stage or in studio, there will come a time when the musician will need to step it up and execute a jaw dropping solo. In traditional bluegrass music these moments are called ‘breaks’ and are a core part of the type of music. It’s these aspects that draw singer-songwriter, Andrew Jed, to the genre. He is originally from the US, but recently relocated to Lynnwood in the east of Pretoria. A seasoned musician, the award-winning multi-instrumentalist has been writing music, producing in studio and performing on the stage for decades. Jed has just released his new single “Panama City”, off his album Silver Star. The song is an up-tempo bluegrass tune with a modern edge to it. When asked what he loves most about bluegrass music, he said that the best bluegrass songs usually play with themes of love, death and really bad decisions. The song was originally written in 2021 and released last year. Since then the song has been modified. Jed brought in South African musician Dan Patlansky to rework some of the guitar parts. Other phenomenal artists who features on the album includes Conrad Rudolph and Siobhan Lloyd-Jones. Radio host Renos Nicos Spanoudes chats to Andrew Jed during Saturday’s Role on Hellenic Radio.
