Andy Lyra James sings the Great American Songbook with special guests and the Fullerton Jazz Faculty

Australian jazz singer Andy James began her artistic life as a flamenco dancer studying in Madrid, later basing her European dancing career there. As a flamenco dancer, she has worked with the absolute best in the business, including Paco de Lucia, Lucky Losada, Tito Losada, Antonio Canales and Rafael Amargo. A musician as well as a dancer from the very beginning, Andy also played the electric bass, and she was most famously a part of the band for the two-year Australian National Tour of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” with a young Russell Crowe performing a role and covering Frank-N-Furter! This naturally progressed to a singing career specializing in the music she knows and loves the most. Andy has always been at home in the studio, embodying the style of greats while also adding her own je ne sais quoi. She has recorded two albums and two EPs in just under a year.
