An iconic figure in the world of gospel bass guitar, Andrew Gouche’s reputation as an A-list sideman is founded on decades of exceptional bass work with the likes of Gladys Knight, Andrae Crouch, Destiny’s Child, Michael Jackson, Prince and Chaka Khan.
Like most gospel musicians, Gouche grew up in church, but his roots stretch further than most. As a boy, he sang in the choir of Rev. James Cleveland, who revolutionized African-American praise music in the ’50s and ’60s by using soul, R&B, and jazz in church, creating the template for today's gospel/secular fusions.
