Career

Jill Andrew’s music career began in 2004 when she co-founded the alt-country group The Everybodyfields.[15] In October 2009, only four months after The Everybodyfields break-up was announced, Andrews put together a new band and released a self-titled EP.[16][17] The six-song EP was produced by Andrews and recorded live to 8-track by producer/engineer Scott Minor in his home studio.[16]

While Andrews toured the country in 2010 to promote her EP she recorded her first solo album, The Mirror. In order to fund the release of the album, Andrews used Kickstarter to raise over $12,000 with the help of 279 backers.[18][19] The record had two producers, Scott Solter and Neilson Hubbard;[20] each recording tracks at two different studios in North Carolina and Nashville, respectively.[21][17]

On September 25, 2015, Andrews released her second full-length album, The War Inside.[22][23] The album was produced by Will Sayles. The track "I'm So In Love With You" features Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers.[24]
