    Andrea Magee

    “Born and raised in Belfast, Andrea Magee made a bold leap across the Atlantic to pursue her musical dreams in the United States in 2014. Since then, she has emerged as one of the most compelling live performers in Austin’s vibrant music scene. A master of the bodhran, a traditional Celtic drum, and a multi-instrumentalist, Andrea captivates audiences with her dynamic performances that blend rich musical traditions with contemporary influences. Her heartfelt songwriting and captivating voice are deeply rooted in her personal experiences and cultural heritage.

    As the founder of Music Helps, a non-profit organization, Andrea has dedicated herself to providing music workshops for children at Helping Hand Home for Children. Through this initiative, she connects local musicians with at-risk youth, creating a nurturing environment that fosters creativity and emotional healing. The impact of these workshops has been profound, not only providing an outlet for the children but also offering meaningful employment for musicians in the community. Andrea’s commitment to giving back has transformed her into a beacon of hope for many, showcasing the healing power of music.

    In addition to her non-profit work, Andrea serves as the festival director for She Rises Fest, an annual event that celebrates women in music and the arts. Under her leadership, the festival has featured an array of talented artists and has become a significant platform for promoting gender equality in the music industry.

    Musically, Andrea’s journey has been marked by significant achievements. She has toured extensively, sharing stages with legendary artists such as Brian Wilson, Brian Setzer, and Jeff Bridges as the opening act for Beat Root Revival. Her recent studio album, Belfast Girl, highlights her unique sound and artistic evolution. The album has received praise for its raw authenticity and emotional depth, resonating with audiences and critics alike.

    Andrea is poised for new adventures with the release of her upcoming single, “Chase the River,” on November 29th. This new sound is a departure from her previous work, featuring Andrea as the sole musician on the recording. Leaning into her bodhran drum, belle drum, and singing bowls, she explores the profound journey of self-reliance and introspection, creating a deeply personal soundscape that invites listeners to connect with her at an intimate level. She is currently gearing up to record her next full-length album at Arlyn Studios

    Through her music and philanthropic endeavors, Andrea Magee embodies the spirit of Austin’s live music scene, bringing people together and inspiring change through the universal language of music. As Andrea says, “Music is about community, connection, and giving back. It’s the threads that weave us together, and I’m honored to be a part of that tapestry.”
