Common wisdom in the entertainment business dictates if you can't describe it in two sentences, go back to the boards and refine your pitch. However, those experienced and well traveled in the business know that in truth, it's the ones that you can't describe easily that are the true and lasting artists. Seattle based singer-songwriter Andrea Wittgens is the freshest original new voice on the scene in years. Combining sultry, engaging vocals (Rickie Lee Jones meets Norah Jones) with clever yet disarmingly honest lyrics, she has been holding audiences in rapture throughout North America. Originally from Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Andrea moved to Seattle in the late 90’s and stirred up a wave of notice with her band Sugartown. 2 albums and 4 years later it was time for her to shine as a solo artist. Her 2006 EP “Alibi” (produced by Grammy Award winning producer/mixer Bob Power) garnered excited reviews in the northwest and also in New York City where she suddenly found herself with a notable buzz in the east coast music industry. In October 2008 she will release a full-length album “In The Skyline”. An adventurous mix of instrumentation, this new collection of original songs (including “Comme tu veux” her first French recording) journeys from hypnotically intimate string quartet textures to raucous full band orchestrations. “In The Skyline” represents a convergence of the writing, singing and riveting stage presence that marks Andrea Wittgens' arrival as a singer-songwriter of the highest order.
