The Fishwives Featuring Andra

ABOUT

The FISHWIVES were born out of late-night, side-street jam sessions during the National Arts Festival, 2013. They have performed on most well-known festival stages, countless dives and the odd train platform across the country. Their debut album, 'ALGAE' was released in 2019, and has thus far been described as echoing an entire 70's record collection without trying to reproduce what was. Songs flow seamlessly from a low tide of alternative folk to a high of progressive rock, with iconic vocal harmony, narrative lyrics and intricate instrumentation all present across this shore.

ANDRA is a Namibia-born independent, internationally recognized singer-songwriter.

She is a classically trained guitarist, studied music in Pretoria and Stellenbosch, but gave that all up to focus on

a full time career in music and songwriting. She has received a Standard Bank Ovation award for her

performances at the National Arts festival in Grahamstown and has performed at all the major festivals in

Southern Africa, like Oppikoppi, Splashy Fen, Park Acoustics, STRAB (Mozambique), Aardklop and Innibos.

ANDRA independently recorded three original albums that have all received worldwide praise since 2007 and

firmly claimed her respected spot in the underground scene of unsigned artists.

She has toured through Europe with her music, and has shared the stage with world renowned artists like

Dan Patlansky, Anton Goosen, Wonderboom, Jan Blohm, Karen Zoid, Sam Bettens (Belgium/USA),

Nibs van der Spuy (Portugal), Riku Latti, Koos Kombuis, Terra Naomi (USA), Mathys Roets and Cindy Alter (Clout),

to name but a few.

Her latest album “A Sound or Something More” took the number one spot on the iTunes Top100 singer/

songwriters chart within the first two days of its release.

"She is phenomenal in her interpretation of a variety of themes and styles.

Her voice is majestic and her presence hypnotic." – Pinto Ferreira, Pretoria News
