“Edgy and slightly unclassifiable…” [Country Music People UK]
“…andrea’s dulcet southern vocal tones, scratched and husky, poured over the song like sweet sorghum…[american pancake]
“…as the bass gallops and surf meets country western guitar strains somewhere between chet atkins and dick dale…”

About
ever wonder what it would have been like if johnny and june were backed by the cramps? if conway and loretta toured with the ventures? if link wray and amy winehouse fell in love, started a band and everything they put out sounded like it was for a new tarantino movie? that is a good start to describing atlanta duo andrea & mud though you have to see them live or listen to a whole album to even begin to understand them. the couple is too Surf for the cowboys and too country for the surfers and they don’t give a damn. their versatility and wide range of inspirations keeps them from blending in with the other bands out there trying to sound like tom petty. if andrea & mud are gonna model their personas after anyone, it’s a dirty blonde truck driver from the ‘60’s and the cute little waitress at the bottom of a hill. but he is the greatest picker in town and she’s a firecracker that plays a saw.
With recent Sync placements in films such as Red Rocket (starring Simon Rex), new relationships with Warner Chappell Music Group and two-time Grammy winning producer Joshua Monroy, andrea & mud have carved their name into the cortex of national and international peers. Described by many as sounding "…like a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack…” (Ditty TV) the four piece band brings an exciting and invigorating experience to fans through a blend of 60's style music branded as Surf-Western.
Since the 2020 release of their sophomore album Bad News Darlin’, Andrea & Mud have released an EP for Warner Chappell’s Valo Artists catalog called the Promiseland and another 5 songs off of their upcoming album Institutionalized due out in 2023. Like everything else they have ever done, it is totally fresh while still being classic and most importantly, it cannot fit into a box.
