Sandy Weltman

Harmonica virtuoso Sandy Weltman's talents are diverse to say the least. While at home in the jazz realm, he is equally skilled in blues, Celtic, Klezmer, Latin and more. Sandy learned much of his harmonica styling while under the tutelage of harmonica wizard Howard "Flecktone" Levy and he gained international recognition in the World Harmonica Competitions.



Sandy has performed on dozens of albums nationally and has released three albums of his own: "Escape Velocity" with his band The SanDROIDS (1996), "New World Harmonica Jazz" with The Carolbeth Trio (1998) and "The Klezmer Nuthouse" (2002).  Sandy currently fronts his own acoustic swing quartet,”Hot Club Caravan” featuring the music of Django  Reinhart and Stephane Grappelli.



For over 20 years Sandy has been growing and expanding his innovative methods and skills on the diatonic harmonica and teaching them to hundreds of students. He also enjoys teaching banjo, hand percussion along with improvisation.
Sandy has performed with Howard Levy, Richard Hayman, Brewer & Shipley, Bela Fleck, and many others.



Sandy Weltman is one of the most creative musicians in St. Louis, with strong roots in both jazz and acoustic music

"He’s a great entertainer and a consummate musician!"
Paul Reuter, Executive Director, Sheldon Concert Hall



"Weltman stretches the limits of the instrument by following his mentor Howard Levy as a pioneer of the basic 10-hole diatonic harmonica.”

The Riverfront Times



"Sandy Weltman is the most versatile harmonica player  in St. Louis - bar none!"
