Composer/Lyricist/Guitarist/Vocalist Andrea Carter

Andrea Carter has been composing since the age of 5!

Playing guitar, writing lyrics, and singing was always a part of her life. But 15 years ago, it became a major part, performing with her own band "Andrea's Fault" (which for those not living in California, the name is from the famous earthquake fault line: The San Andreas Fault).

She now is a full-time prolific singer/songwriter and able to capture your story down to the last detail with warmth, poignancy and humor.

Her sultry voice, reminiscent of 1940's Torch Songstresses, adds to the romance of her music. Her lilting ability to switch from one octave to the next is evocative of Sarah McLaughlin.

Reviews from her fans are sensational! Here are just a few:

	From Mike in Indiana: Wow! What a surprise...A little Diana Krall and Norah Jones mixture, with original lyrics and a great sounding group all together!
	From Robert in California: What greatly impresses me is the "jazz classic" qualities of Andrea Carter's original melodies and poetic lyrics; this plus the fine performances by vocalist and band.
	From Elissa in Southern California: I love Andrea's lyrics! She wrote about my fiancé and me and absolutely nailed it! He laughed…and teared up! It was a great success! Now he is in love with Andrea ;-)
