A distinctive, emotionally candid singer and songwriter, Courtney Marie Andrews first earned a reputation in indie rock in the early 2010s before finding critical acclaim as she evolved into the Americana/contemporary folk scene. An evocative vocalist whose performances reflect straightforward honesty with bittersweet beauty, Andrews is as gifted as a songwriter, creating melodies that are a fine match for the aspiration and heartaches of her lyrics. She had plenty of touring and recording under her belt when she first found her footing as an artist with 2013's On My Page, but 2016's Honest Life became her breakthrough release, a set of songs that saw her baring her soul to impressive effect. 2018's May Your Kindness Remain drew inspiration from the stories of ordinary people in difficult times, and 2022's Loose Future was written and recorded during a soul-searching sojourn on the East Coast.
