About the event
Andrea Superstein is one of the most versatile voices in Canadian music today. Dubbed as "redefining jazz" by the Vancouver Province, her debut performance at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival earned her a nomination for a Galaxie Rising Star award and launched her squarely into the limelight. She later shared a triple bill with Canadian female heavyweights Laila Biali and Brandi Disterheft.
Adding savvy vocals to whatever she touches, from nu-jazz and downtempo electronica to Latin grooves, Andrea lures listeners in with killer improvisational instincts, exceptional storytelling, and a red-hot band.
Her music exemplifies powerful vocals evoking the gentle and the strong, the light and the dark, often in the same song. She lithely navigates the colours of the emotional spectrum in multiple languages.
Her upcoming oeuvre, Oh Mother, is a multimedia musical experience rooted in the stories of motherhood. It’s an ambitious tour de force highlighting her ever growing creativity and sensitivity as a songwriter and arranger. It includes a who’s who of the musical world, with a killer female dominated creative team including Jane Bunnett and Elizabeth Shepherd. Although the stories are rooted in motherhood, the free-spirited music is for everyone.
Her newest single “Say It Ain’t So” (2023) is a synth heavy creative reimagining of Weezer’s classic 90’s anthem, gracing Exclaim’s Eh-List on its first day. Her unique approach to arranging is putting her on the musical map as an innovative force.
Her last release, Worlds Apart, showcased her talents as vocalist, composer and arranger, bringing her fresh, modern ideas to the forefront. Her sophomore record What Goes On was produced by Juno winner, Les Cooper (Jill Barber) and released on the esteemed Cellar Live imprint.
She has graced multiple official Spotify playlists, notably #4 on Vocal Jazz, just ahead of Norah Jones, received a 5-star review in BBC Music Magazine, spins on BBC Radio2 and an explosive release in Japan as well as impressive charting on Earshot and a steady rotation on JazzFm and CBC/ici Musique.
Super has been a guest on TV and radio nationwide including CBC’s Hot Air, CTV news, Breakfast Television, CKUA, “Quand le jazz est lá” and Sirius XM radio and is a crowd favourite on the touring and festival scene.
Andrea will seize the opportunity of performing for the first time at Festival d’été to offer a jazzified repertoire of French-language great singers and songwriters: Piaf, Cabrel, Bia, Jean Leloup, and many others!
An evening presented by Radio-Canada.
