Courtney Marie Andrews

At just sixteen years old, Courtney Marie Andrews left home in Arizona for her first tour. She traveled up and down the West Coast, busking and playing any bars or cafés that would have her. Soon after, she took a Greyhound bus four nights straight from Phoenix to New York to do the same on the East Coast. For a decade or so since, Courtney’s been a session and backup singer and guitarist for nearly forty artists, from Jimmy Eat World to Damien Jurado. She never stopped writing her own material, though. Picking up admirers like Jurado and Ryan Adams along the way, she has quietly earned a reputation as a songwriter’s songwriter.

Courtney Marie Andrews performs “Irene,” “Woman of Many Colors,” and “Lifetime Company” at The Warhol in a gallery reminiscent of Andy Warhol’s Silver Factory studio.
