Andrea Nardello's music can be described with one word: power. Power in the studio; power in her soaring melodies; power in her lyrics; and power on stage.

And she's getting powerful recognition, too.

"My Aeroplane," Nardello's sophomore release, was under consideration for a Grammy Nomination for 2010. Produced by Aaron Levinson and backed by a top notch studio band, My Aeroplane takes listeners on a ride through clear skies and rumbling thunderclouds. On it, Nardello explores romance, family, and friendship with her signature sophistication and simplicity.

Even though some of Andrea's music touches on more serious themes like heartbreak and relationships gone bad, she somehow exudes a sense of positivity and strength. As a result, I have found myself listening to "My Aeroplane" repeatedly. (Mark Rogers, host 93.7 WSTW Hometown Heroes)

Embracing joy, love, camaraderie, and lusty encounters, Nardello's songs are punctuated with strong rhythms and surprising instrumentation, reflecting life with all its ups and downs. Listeners learn very quickly to anticipate something new with each tune. Her repertoire of original music includes Irish-flavored romps, classic ballads and quiet songs with an urban feel.

When Andrea played live on my show Volta Unveiled the listener response was through the roof. (Cindy Wuollet – Owner/DJ www.voltaradio.com, Philadelphia, PA)

Working within the singer-songwriter genre with the soul and passion of Janis Joplin and Carole King, Nardello cuts across the boundaries of the folk genre. Her lyric sensibility is reminiscent of the best poets of rock, pop and hiphop, ensnaring fans up and down both coasts and across the South.

Each performance has been an event rather than a mere gig. (Bill Hoover, Red Light Cafe, Atlanta, GA)

Lovers of her music in Philly, West Virginia and Atlanta have packed her shows for years, and she is making a name for herself on Music Row in Nashville, having been invited onstage at several venues, fronting Jay Brunswick and Craig Curtis, among others. Concert-goers in Seattle, the French Quarter of New Orleans, and Kentucky have also been thrilled by Andrea Nardello's exquisite music and powerful stage performances.

I haven't heard screams like that since listening to live recordings of the Beatles. (Dave Wannup, Tin Angel, Philadelphia, PA)

Whether the audience members come to a gig to see Andrea Nardello or another act on the bill, when she hits the stage the crowd ends up dancing, cheering and clamoring for more. Her debut album, Until Now, released in 2007, sold over 3,000 copies at her shows and has been described in the music industry press as, 'beating the Recession, one CD at a time.'

Writing, touring, recording, performing – Andrea Nardello and her music are quickly becoming a nationwide phenomenon.
