"Already a contender as the Australian Queen of the Blues, "Little Sister Got Soul" her first release in the US should surely get the the broader recognition she truly deserves....this cd could easily have been titled "Little Sister Got Blues", 'Little Sister Got Rhythm" or "Little Sister Got it All"
Peter "Blewzzman" Lauro

“Andrea Marr’s voice is so sensuous, sassy and dynamic, her command of her idiom so assured that one is tempted to accost strangers to tell them.”
Ken Williams, the Age


“Andrea Marr’s new album "Little sister got Soul" is a bloody RIPPER! If she was my little sister, I’d bully her to let me play drums in her band, ‘cause she's got the kind of soul I love.... but, she's got Dean Matters on the skins and he's got exactly the right soul for Andrea. A great band, playing great songs and Andrea singing up a storm. Her best yet.
Gary Young, legendary rock drummer & RRR fm presenter


"It is a world class effort that rips you out of your seat and doesn't let you go, and when it does you want to do it all over again!"
Rooster McBlurter Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society

Her next CD “Watch me work it” received airplay internationally and the title track was included in the US “National Women In Blues” CD which launches the new wave of US Blues Women – Andrea was the only non-American female included in this compilation.
