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.
