When Andrea is performing at The Freight, she is truly in her element. She started playing The Freight with her former fresh radical folk band “Rebecca Riots” in the 1990’s and has continued to sing and write songs with a conscience ever since. With Berkeley as her home base for decades and her many years of activism to draw upon, Andrea uses her bluesy, alto voice to deliver original songs that reflect the gritty realities and tender hopes of these times.Andrea is known for her rich vocal performances and her political and topical songwriting style. With only her voice and guitar, she can deliver a powerhouse performance. With the release of her new album The Frame, Andrea demonstrates her growth as a songwriter and a definite desire to let the music speak for itself. The debut of her new band known simply as "Andrea and friends" provides the full range of her acoustic power and also lets her stretch out into the more rhythmic and folk /rock/R&B that is a natural fit.
With help from local legends such as Shelley Doty on guitar, Michaelle Goertitz on percussion and drums, Isaac Coyle on bass, Maggie Forti on harmony and Marina Garza and Kasey Knudsen playing horns, the evening promises to be intimate AND upbeat. Expect politics, humor and some special guests!
