About Me:
My name’s Andrea. I’m from Sunderland in the North East of England.
I've been a professional singer for nearly 15 years.
In that time I've worked solo, in duos and trios and with bands, singing many different styles of music. I've fronted the band "Laughing Jacks" since 1999. We make a living playing mostly at weddings
www.laughing-jacks.co.uk
My main influences as a singer include Dolly Parton, Joni Mitchell and Alison Krauss. I also love the music of Tom Waits, Randy Newman, Todd Rundgren and James Taylor.
I've recently formed my own band and I've been working on an album of original music. The new songs are heavily influenced by Country music. I’ve been writing and recording with a fantastic local guitarist/songwriter called Jim Hornsby. Jim has his own band “Diesel Therapy” www.dieseltherapy.com. The album is now finished and will be available to buy. If you are interested in buying a copy please send me an email. You can hear excerpts of some of the tracks that we've finished on this page. Please let me know what you think of them.
I've also recently formed a Dolly Parton Tribute Band: we're playing in local venues this year and we hope to go on a national theatre tour in 2010. You can find out more about the project and hear excerpts from our first CD on this site: www.dollypartonstory.com.
I'd love to hear from any other Dolly fans and I always look forward to getting feedback about my songs from musicians, songwriters and music lovers.
