Appearing with her New York quartet – pianist Diane Moser, bassist Ken Filiano, and drummer Michael TA Thompson – the accomplished, innovate vocalist makes her first mid-Atlantic tour fresh on the heels of an appearance at New York's world-famous Blue Note jazz club and a summer-long composer's residency in Taos, NM. Other notable appearances include Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola (Jazz at Lincoln Center), the New York JVC Jazz Festival, Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz, Blue Whale (Los Angeles), Donne in Musica Festival (Italy), South African Broadcasting Company concert hall, and numerous national and international tours.

“A singer who brings songs to life, whatever their source, working in a milieu that begins with jazz and reaches out to embrace an expressive area that is uniquely her own," Andrea's repertoire travels from re-imagined standards and pop to originals that run the gamut from “new standards” to explorations interweaving text, poetry, improvisation, and composition. As a songwriter, she's been described as “easily superior to the ever expanding population in the singer/songwriter category,” and one of her originals from her sophomore release, “The Small Hours” (VarisOne.Jazz), is among the top ten most downloaded songs of all time at AllAboutJazz.com.

Andrea's third CD, "Parallel Lives” (Jazzed Media) was on several best-of-year lists, and “TranceFormation in Concert" (New Artist Records) was a best vocal CD selection in the 2012 Downbeat critics' polls. She is one of the "great jazz singers" covered in Scott Yanow's "The Jazz Singers: The Ultimate Guide.” No matter what the material, her live shows get audiences feeling, smiling, and tapping their feet.
