    Artist History
    Andrea Gilley, born and raised in the Ozark's just north of Branson, has roots that run traditional and deep. From an early age, Andrea seemed destined to be an entertainer and her passion for singing was obvious before she ever entered grade school. She has been performing since she was 11 years old. She grew up in a family surrounded by music. They would sing gospel hymns at her grandparent's home for hours accompanied by her mother on piano and her grandfather on guitar. Along with more contemporary influences such as The Judd's and Bonnie Raitt, Andrea soon found her own voice. She became very active in her church choir where she was frequently featured as a soloist. Throughout junior high and high school, Andrea performed in school and church musicals, state music competitions, and various variety shows. If it involved music, she did it! Shortly after high school and a stint in the Army Reserves... Andrea returned to her passion for performing at local opry houses and a series of talent competitions and events around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. This led to a regular spot as part of the "Six Flags Over Texas" revue. After a year of the rigors of a full production show, Andrea decided to move to Nashville where she has continued to hone her skills. Paying her dues in the time honored tradition of the club circuit such as The Broken Spoke, Boardwalk Café, The Sutler, The Wildhorse Saloon, and most recently at the world famous "Tootsies Orchid Lounge" in downtown Nashville. In a climate where inspiration is thin... Andrea's perseverance and determination have never stopped. This athletic, veteran is ready to take the music industry by storm. Even though she prefers not to be categorized, her style falls somewhere between Martina McBride's power, Trisha Yearwood's soul, and Faith Hill's passion. Andrea Gilley is the real deal. From her haunting cover of "Crazy" to originals, "East of Vegas" and "Few More Miles" you'll be hooked right from the start. Currently...She is performing regularly with her church worship team and with local artists/musicians around the Nashville area. So strap yourself in... and get ready for one of the best of the next generation of country music stars, Andrea Gilley.

    Press Reviews
    When you hear Andrea Gilley you will hear a touch of both Faith Hill and Martina McBride rolled into one, and singing with the same passion andintensity that helped make both of those singers household names. She canconvey a message with her versatile voice, effectively belting it out on apowerful love song, and showing soft subtlety on a slow ballad. "I Love Him I Think" is a fun, rollicking song with a good beat thatis tantalizing to the listener's ear. "East Of Vegas" is a song about awoman that is tired of her man's obsession with gambling that wants to finda better life for herself, it's sung with a lot of conviction and herbackup singers do a wonderful job on it as well. "Few More Miles" isanother song about a woman that has had it with a bad relationship and putsdistance between him and her. "The Way I Love You" is a slow, easy ballad,beautifully sang about someone who loves the person in her life enough tolet him go, and "That Wouldn't Break My Heart" is another slow ballad thatis equally as pleasing to hear. There should be no doubt that with half a chance by country radio,Andrea Gilley should achieve the same kind of stardom that singers likeFaith and Martina have.-Don Adkisson, PresidentMACMC (Metro Atlanta Country Music Club)
