Andrea Kirwin is an Australian-Fijian Singer-songwriter who has become a much loved local artist and live music advocate since moving to the coast 10 years ago.
With a warm stage presence, soulful sound and a knack for storytelling, Andrea creates beautiful original songs that are influenced by her early years growing up as the daughter of a Fijian Church minister in Townsville in the late 80s and her love of American R&B/Soul as a teen in the 90s. Having only discovered Folk and World music through friends at University in Canberra, she picked up a guitar at aged 21 and started her songwriting Journey with her first band, The Andi and George band. Since then she has gone on to release 5 independent albums under her record label Peace Run Records. Andrea regularly performs as a duo with her wife Claire Evelynn on Celtic harp and together they create truly beautiful renditions of Andrea’s original music with recent performances at Woodford Folk Festival, National Folk Festival (2022) and Bay of Islands Jazz and Blues festival (NZ).
