Petra Sings/Andy Swings

The pairing of jazz vocalist Petra van Nuis and guitarist Andy Brown is one of those rare combinations where all parts seem to fit. Germany's Jazzpodium Magazine hails their twenty-five-year musical collaboration as "a magical musical dialogue, which can only partially be described as blind understanding."  As high school sweethearts at a performing arts school in Cincinnati Ohio, Petra and Andy grew up together as artists. Living in Chicago since 2004, Petra and Andy regularly play the prominent area venues including the Jazz Showcase, the Green Mill, Andy's Jazz Club and Winter’s Jazz Club. Nationally, the couple plays jazz festivals and clubs. With several European tours and six of their CDs re-released in Japan, Petra and Andy continue to spread their swinging sounds to music lovers far and wide.
