Andrea Gillis is a powerhouse singer who has been a staple of the Boston music scene for years. She’s got the lungs of Tine Turner, the songwriting chops of Chrissie Hynde, and the swagger or Mick Jagger. Her band has opened for Sharon Jones, Lee Fields, J. Geils, and more.
The Boston Globe says “She has been blessed with the pipes of Etta James and with the boozy swagger of Jim Morrison”.
“”Leave The Light On” is the song we all needed right now. If this is your introduction to Andrea Gillis, you’ll want to dig into her cataolg over at Bandcamp. It’s full of killer releases bridging the worlds of rock, soul, and pop. Check is out, and you’ll know what people have known in Boston for years: Andrea Gillis is a star!” – Lord Rutledgehttps://fasterandlouderblog.blogspot.com/

With a powerhouse voice that cuts through any dark, smoky bar like a beam of light, Amber Angelina is an eclectic torch singer who has been likened to everyone from Adele and Kate Bush to Neko Case and Linda Ronstadt. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Angelina has become a treasured staple in New England, where she and her first-rate band deliver soulful, stop-you-dead-in-your-tracks songs that grapple with embracing vulnerabilities, making peace with our mistakes, and finding strength in a weary world. You can see Amber Angelina perform regularly in Cambridge at her bimonthly residency at the Plough and Stars.
