Courtney Marie Andrews

I don’t about you but in the right hands the sound and vibe that comes from a well strummed banjo is truly quite delectable.

Courtney Marie Andrews not only has the ability to sing rather beautifully with great strength and subtlety but as well as being able to tinkle the ivories I believe that this Phoenix born heavenly voiced darling can really play the banjo suitably well to the wonderful, sunshine-daydream style of music that is performed.

This is a lovely folk musician who appears to come across as quite a performer and I’d prefer to watch her perform rather than just to listen. Courtney is enchanting and I feel myself melting to her words, her music and it wouldn’t surprise me but if I was in the crowd close enough and we happen to cross paths with her eyes then I would no doubt be a slither of a man on the grassy verge where I was once perched.

The songs she has created are well structured and flow marvellously carrying you through a short journey of usually 5 minutes or so which is nice to hear rather than a quick buck storyteller like what we are now currently listening to. It’s refreshing to see and hear.

To shortly describe I’d say Courtney Marie Andrews is sweeter than fresh peaches. Really nice indeed. However, this is a girl whom I feel could really raise a roof similar to Alanis Morrisette or Dolores O’Riordan of The Cranberries there was only a microphone to perform with.

This girl may sound sweet like chocolate but if it was perhaps “one of those days” then I swear there is the power here to destroy hearts and souls.

This is special.
