Raised in an underground house on a dirt road, tucked between the cornfields of Illinois, Andi Jane grew up in a world where imagination wasn’t just encouraged—it was essential. With nothing but crickets, open skies, and endless daydreams for company, she found herself drawn to music, driven by an unshakable urge to create something beautiful.

​

But her journey to present day wasn’t a straight line, nor was it as pure as her childhood. Andi Jane tried her hand in the Chicago music scene—forming bands like her short-lived dance rock project, Pool, before drifting away from music, chasing adventure, and losing herself in the whirlwind of parties and substance-fueled distractions. It wasn’t until she severed the last ties holding her to Chicago that the idea of Music City truly began to take shape.

 

In 2017, Andi Jane made the decision to chase her dreams once again, and ventured to Nashville with a broken keyboard and a handful of songs. She quickly co-founded the buzzed-about Americana duo, Catfish Seminar, where she wrote her first country song. A years-long covert and tumultuous relationship with her duo partner gave her much to write about, without the space to share it.

 

Emerging as a solo artist in late 2023, her debut single, “Hide The Key,” quickly amassed over 50,000 streams. Her live EP, The Great Peacock Farm, released one year later, has set the stage for her eclectic bluegrass album, "The Ground Is Changing,” coming in 2025. Not stopping there, she has already begun work on a Dixieland jazz EP, promising even more musical adventures on the horizon.

​

The pianist, washboard player, and singer-songwriter is a self-proclaimed “genre mutt.” Influenced by artists as broad as Patsy Cline to My Chemical Romance, John Prine to Amy Winehouse, her music is hard to pin down. Her songs are reminiscent of classic country and Dixieland jazz, yet have the feel of a 1940s Cabaret with dramatic moments that Broadway-lovers would appreciate.

​

She performs live with the raucous and aptly-named Honky-Tonk Cabaret, but recently has added her Cabaret String Band to the mix, to showcase her future bluegrass releases. When she’s not performing in either of these iterations, she plays solo, simply voice and piano, in an intimate setting that allows her to tell the stories behind her songs.
