BIO

Andrea Robertson has a knack for making music that gets into your system and feels immediately like an old friend. Through a tasty fusion of blues, roots, folk, rock and alt-country (aka Americana), Robertson brings you home with her, to the waves crashing on her favourite beach, to the beloved dog lying at her feet, to her incredibly talented family who often share the stage with her at shows.

Winner of the Queenscliff Music Festival’s Emerging Artist Grant (2017), Robertson has released two studio recordings, both of which feature the late, great Australian Blues Legend, Chris Wilson, and her newest release, a stunning live album titled ‘Live At New Hall’. 

Born and bred in Geelong and calling the Bellarine Peninsula home for much of that time, Robertson was raised on a diet of musical greats, including Fleetwood Mac, Aretha Franklin, Blondie and Dylan, sounds that echo through her music today. 

Robertson has earned herself the reputation of being a humble, hard-working artist who knows how to put on a stellar show for audiences, firmly establishing herself as an accomplished artist on the Australian music scene.  Her big heart along with a whole lot of soul is evident in everything she gets involved in.

Described as “an opus of positivity…lined with persistence and gratitude” [Beat], Robertson’s music encapsulates the modern Australian experience.

Andrea’s original material is fantastic, both traditional sounding and fresh, with her big heart and eye for human folly evident in her writing. Her voice is honestly beautiful and is offset by the raw sound of the band; quite an intoxicating blend.

Super grounded and super talented, the flourishes throughout this tune make my day and Robertson's vocals are like a hot drink on a frosty morning.

Andrea’s shows always receive great feedback from the punters and the staff alike, with a big “please re-book” tick of approval from the owner.

Andrea is both a leader and a team player, and a talented singer, instrumentalist, and songwriter.

With a mix of folk and blues influences - Remind Myself is an album of twists and turns, from the upbeat songs that inspire toe tapping to the more ballad like songs heavy with emotions. This is an album by someone who knows who she is and wishes to share her story and sound with others, creating an endearing experience that is entirely her own.
[Forte Magazine, Review of Remind Myself]

Live at New Hall is a double CD with excellently recorded tracks. As well as a challenge to the musicians, it’s a challenge to the sound engineer who has to mix for the venue, and also for the recording. Not always easy, but right on the money for this performance.
