JILL ANDREWS

On Saturday mornings in a small bedroom in East Tennessee, ten-year-old Jill Andrewswould slide Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation into hertape deck, jump up onto the bed,knot her t- shirt at the waist, and start jamming. She sang in front of the mirror, playedall the invisible instruments, and wondered over and over about a future that would takeher beyond the checkerboard lawns and fresh blacktop of the suburbs. She wasn’t leftwondering for long. Just a few years later, Andrews was on tour, singing, writing, andplaying with one the nation’s fastest rising Americana groups.

From her years in the Everybodyfields, to her critically acclaimed solo career, to herlatest collaboration, Hush Kids, which she co-founded with Nashville songwriter andproducer, Peter Groenwald, Andrews has delivered irresistibly melodic, genre-bendingmusic for nearly two decades. Anchored by frank songwriting but continuously andunapologetically evolving, Andrews’ tape deck currently hosts a range of influencesfrom Joni Mitchell to Diana Ross to Wilco to contemporaries, Brandi Carlile and PhoebeBridgers. The result is bold, infectious, introspective music that has served as thebackdrop to some of America’s most beloved television series includingGrey’sAnatomy, This Is Us, Nashville, and Wynnona Earp,to which she composed the theme.
