Andrea Superstein is one of the most versatile voices in Canadian music today. Dubbed as “redefining jazz” by the Vancouver Province, her debut performance at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival earned her a nomination for a Galaxie Rising Star award and launched her squarely into the limelight. She later shared a triple bill with Canadian female heavyweights Laila Biali and Brandi Disterheft.
Adding savvy vocals to whatever she touches, from nu-jazz and downtempo electronica to Latin grooves, Andrea lures listeners in with killer improvisational instincts, exceptional storytelling, and a red-hot band.
Her music exemplifies powerful vocals evoking the gentle and the strong, the light and the dark, deep blues to pop confection, often in the same song.
Andrea continues to be recognized for her genre bending original compositions and imaginative reworkings of popular songs and jazz standards. Her first offering of 2023 is a hard hitting contemporary jazz arrangement of Weezer’s smash hit “Say It Ain’t So.” Once again she brings a uniquely distinct sound to a crowd favourite – keeping it fresh, new and entirely her own.
Later in 2023 will see the release of her oeuvre Oh Mother: a multimedia musical experience rooted in the stories of motherhood. It’s an ambitious tour de force highlighting her ever growing creativity and sensitivity as a songwriter and arranger. It includes a who’s who of the musical world, with a killer female dominated creative team. Although the stories are rooted in motherhood, the free-spirited music is for everyone.
She has graced multiple official Spotify playlists, notably #4 on Vocal Jazz, just ahead of Norah Jones, received a 5-star review in BBC Music Magazine, spins on BBC Radio2 and an explosive release in Japan as well as impressive and consistent charting on Earshot and a steady rotation on JazzFm and CBC/ici Musique.
