Another Ontario singer-songwriter has brought her raw talent to
Halifax. Unintentionally following the trail of Jill Barber before her,
21-year-old Dana Carly Andrews has drawn limitless inspiration from her
loves and losses, both in Halifax and back home. At her free show
Friday night at Minstrels, the singer-artist-actor might just break
your heart with lyrics taken from 24 diaries kept daily since junior
high. “You’re my humiliation at 13, finding the boys in the schoolyard
reading love letters right out of my purse,” she croons in one
toe-tappin’ tune off her self-released album, Finch. Andrews
already has an international fan base, but hipsters who attend her show
can say, one year from now, they heard her before she made it big.

Always knew we had a wonderful artist in our family. Love your music Dana and looking forward to purchasing your “Finch” album.
