2024 has ushered in the physical release of ‘Seasons’ - a stunning, year-long, slow-release musical journey. Beginning in Autumn 2023 and coming to fruition in Summer of the same year, Andrea gifted us three new songs released with each change of seasons throughout 2023.  

‘Seasons’ is being lauded as Andrea’s best body of work to date, and is truly a testament to resilience, creativity and the enduring power of music.

With a voice like honey and a knack for making music that gets into your system and feels immediately like an old friend, Robertson brings you home with her, to the waves crashing on her favourite beach, to enjoying a cup of tea in her sun-soaked backyard, to the beloved dogs lying at her feet.

Not one to pigeon-hole her music, she seems to have her own trademark sound that’s a perfectly tasty fusion of blues, roots, folk, rock, alt-country and a whole lot of soul.

Andrea has supported the likes of Mia Dyson and Joe Camilleri & The Black Sorrows and also worked alongside and/or recorded with some industry greats including Sarah Carroll, Matiss Schubert, Tim Neal, Robert Calvert, and the late, great Chris Wilson - all of which is impressive.

But there is so much more to this artist than just talent. There is an honesty and openness to Andrea’s songwriting which is expressed in the most relatable story-telling way, ranging from delicate slow-burners that hit you right in the core through to rockier numbers that entice you to move. 

There is also an impressive string of awards, accolades and releases under her belt, with Andrea earning herself the reputation of being a humble, hard-working artist who knows how to put on a stellar show for audiences.

And then there is the endearing openness to her songwriting which is expressed in the most relatable way. Her big heart along with a whole lot of soul is evident in everything she gets involved in.

MORE ABOUT ANDREA …….

Winner of the Queenscliff Music Festival’s Emerging Artist Grant (2017) along with an impressive string of other accolades, awards and independent releases.

Born and bred in Geelong and calling the Bellarine Peninsula home for much of that time, Robertson was raised on a diet of musical greats, including Fleetwood Mac, Aretha Franklin, Blondie and Dylan, sounds that echo through her music today. Modern influences include Lanie Lane, Dan Sultan, Sarah Carroll, Alabama Shakes

Releasing her debut album "It’s About Time" in July, 2014, Andrea worked with fellow industry greats Chris Wilson and Sarah Carroll (also crowned as the ukulele Queen of the Bellarine) in shaping a highly celebrated CD. With her second full-length album "Remind Myself" released in November 2017, Andrea has once again worked with Australian Blues Legend, Chris Wilson and also welcomes collaborations with Tim Neal (hammond organ and tenor saxophone) and Robert Calvert (tenor saxophone). 

In 2017 Andrea was one of the dual recipients of the highly coveted Queenscliff Music Festival's Emerging Artist Grant in 2017. This led to her undertaking a live recording over two separate sold our shows before captive audiences, the end result being her much anticipated third release, Live At New Hall in May 2019 which was launched to a full-house crowd, and followed by an extensive Regional Vic Tour.

Andrea was due to embark on her first East Coast Tour in 2020 when coronavirus struck. Like so many others in the music industry, Andrea has been greatly affected by the pandemic and she’s had to shift her focus as a result of it. She has been involved in multiple live-stream events and also organised the first ever Americana On The Bellarine online music festival with fellow musicians Sarah Carroll, Wayne Jury, Nathan Seeckts and Gretta Ziller.

In September 2020 Andrea was successful in obtaining a covid specific grant and went on to record a new single. TIMELY REMINDER beautifully captured the artists perspective on this historic moment in time where covid seemed to reign and life was at a standstill. It’s a haunting reminder of what was the norm for a long season, and all that we should not take for granted.

Andrea is known for her generous spirit which was publicly acknowledged in 2016 when she was awarded the Ross Lipson Award at the Queenscliff Music Festival. She has had numerous songs short-listed in National songwriting contests, and has been commissioned for her songwriting skills.

Andrea is married to drummer/percussionist David Robertson and they have two two teenage children, Heath and Carly (talented musicians in their own right). The foursome can often be seen performing music together as The Von Robertsons - a family band with a difference.

In addition to her other musical endeavours, Andrea is a private music tutor (piano and vocals), she was Choir Leader/Director of the Tides of Welcome Choir based in Queenscliff from Sept 2014 to the end of 2019, she founded Ocean Grove Acoustic Sessions in 2016 alongside her husband/drummer, and is regularly involved in other community activities, working with young people.
