Make a date with Gem Andrews in September, November and December

Singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gem Andrews writes and performs alt-country music with an honesty and rawness that gets straight to the point.

Her songs take the listener on journeys, across countries, continents and oceans, seamlessly blending the shifting landscapes with the ups and downs of life. Her own music is firmly rooted in her beloved Alt Country and Americana, with influences from Kitty Wells, K.D Lang, Neil Young and Townes Van Zandt. She is also a fine interpreter of other peoples work covering numerous songs by an array of different writers.

A much travelled musician Gem has taken her music around the UK, Canada and across numerous European countries. Gem was born in the Liverpool suburb of Woolton, Merseyside and now works out of Berlin, fans and new to the Gem experience can hear live performances later this year.
