Jill Andrews has been a musician all her life: from her first original tune in kindergarten – a ditty about the letter P – to the stage at Fillmore East.
Jill picked up a guitar for the first time when she was 19; armed with only three chords, she had all she needed to create deep and soulful songs with lonesome melodies and haunting lyrics.
In 2003, Jill teamed up with Sam Quinn to create the everybodyfields—it was an undeniable musical union. And the face of Tennessee’s roots music would never be the same. The everybodyfields played Bonnaroo and Floydfest, honkytonks, bars, and theaters from coast to coast. Paste Magazine listed them in their “Best of What’s Next” issue in September 2008, saying that they “straddle old and new, bitter and sweet, desperation and transcendence with an arresting command.”
Jill’s taking that arresting command into her new solo project, but the themes will be familiar, and fans who’ve fallen head over heels for her material can expect that signature alt-country, roots-rock sound to deliver and grow.
Her songs will warm you like a winter quilt – or chill you to the bone. Either way, when you hear Jill Andrews sing, you will remember it.
Hey, this is Jason from Dixieghost! Check us out at our performances this week. We're playing the wdvx "All Over the Road" show tomorrow Saturday the night of the 21st at 12:00 am (technically the morning of the 22nd)
We're also playing at The Pilot Light in old city Knoxville the next day at 10:00 pm Sunday night. We're opening for Wild Mountain Nation and I think it should be an awesome show!
Thank you for the beauty of the EP! I wish I was seeing you tonight at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, but I'm sure you'll be back again :) Have a wonderful show! Many blessings to you and yours!
Watch the interview with Jill Andrews on Knoxivi's 11 O'CLOCk ROCK! on Tuesday, 11/17/2009. Go to Knoxivi.com/eleven and look for Tuesday's show. Watch LIVE or anytime after that. It's archived!
Have a great show tonight! We were there not too long ago to see Yarn. It's not a bad venue at all, kind of cozy actually. Wish we could be there to see you. They are in for a treat. All the best!
wow......................I keep repeating the word, and I cant stop. Your voice sends waves of emotions and memories through my soul, many of them happy ones, but im always sad that they are only memories.
Always Be Sorry touches me in places i thought were numb. Continuing my attempt at explaining the feelings this song gives me would only serve to spoil the compliment.
Next time you are in Johnson City, I want to take you out to lunch (Cootie Browns sound good?), play some accoustics with you, and thank you for being such an incredible musician that writes such beautiful, heartfelt, universal songs that mean so much to you, and anyone they connect with.
Jill Andrews, you are amazing...I already knew this, but i just wanted you to know.
