Musician Trouble Andrew returns to his snowboarding roots with a historic concert at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, performing his signature brand of "electro sk8/crunk rock" at a 12,000-capacity outdoor venue.
The two-time Olympian and Burton-sponsored pro snowboarder (aka Trevor Andrew) will play songs from his 2009 10-song debut CD Trouble Andrew, as well as new material from his forthcoming second full-length CD.

Trouble Andrew's live performances have been garnering raves, one critic noting: "Whether rapping or singing, he enthralled the audience, even writhing around the floor like he was Iggy (synth-) Pop."
The musician cites influences such as Bad Brains, Ice Cube, Black Flag, Descendents, Minor Threat, the Beastie Boys and Three Six Mafia, noting: "Punk rock, hip hop, sk8, snowboard, and surf cultures have a lot in common. They came about naturally and from the underground. That freedom of nonconformity is what ties them together. I wanted it all represented in my music."
Trouble turned seriously to making music during a long period of recuperation from a snowboarding injury: "Making music definitely saved my life," he says. "I could've gotten depressed over my injury, but instead I was so excited to make music and discover new sounds.
The as yet untitled Trouble Andrew CD will be out in Spring 2010.
