ANDII + The Belle Weather + Wire & Nail

 

ANDII wasn’t supposed to be a musician—not if the scatter-brained, ten-year-old version of herself had anything to say about it, that is.

Growing up in a family of vocalists, ANDII was drawn to visual arts, literature, and science instead. The very first thing she remembers wanting to be was an archeologist, in fact. Music, while ever-present in the way of hand-me-down guitars and long-forgotten lessons, wasn’t something she imagined she’d ever be good at.

At 15 years old, however, she learned that her hearing would be lost in the matter of a few short decades due to a genetic anomaly. Unsure of when she might lose the gift of sound, her desire to author music intensified. She taught herself the basics of guitar, leaning on the distant memories of lessons she’d taken previously. She first learned songs by some of her favorite artists, building an understanding of songwriting and storytelling, until she finally broke away and began writing her own material.

More than a decade later, ANDII has written dozens of songs about life, love, and loss, and there simply isn’t any path that makes more sense for her than that of musicality and vulnerability.

The Belle Weather

The Belle Weather is a hurricane.

We are the heavy, rhythmic storm of an acoustic guitar, the deep pulse of an upright bass, and the soaring elegance of cello, violin, and voice. We are the eye of the storm and the damage done – equal parts modern folk and indie rock – a fusion of inspired anthems and the art of simple storytelling.

Over the years, we’ve taken a great many influences and blended them into a sound that is uniquely our own. We’ve built a reputation by approaching every stage we can find with a rare combination of gritty, sweat-drenched energy and honest, heart-felt sonic grace. We love doing what we do, and feel very fortunate to have a fan base that is as musically adventurous as we’ve always tried to be.

Thank you for visiting our site! We invite you to give us a listen, and promise to give you everything we’ve got.

Wire & Nail

Nothing better than a Saturday Night in a Northwoods Tavern. Longnecks & Shooters. Darts & Pool. Romance & Good times. Wire & Nail. This tight combo from Milwaukee loves nothing better than to supply the soundtrack. Equal parts Honky Tonk and Rock n Roll, Wire & Nail have the chops to keep the evening rolling.

Loaded like shotgun, the band comes stacked with tight harmonies, great tone, an on point rhythm section and enough swagger to back it up.

$15 adv/ $20 at the door (advance sales until 3pm day of show, then available at the door). Doors at 7pm, showtime 8pm
