Born and raised in Augusta, Georgia, Dana Andrews is the self-described "Southern Belle" of the rollicking, rocking group. But as we know of so many lovely, lilting Southern girls, there is often a fierce Steel Magnolia stirring underneath. For as nicely mannered, genuinely sweet and full of homespun charm as Dana is, there′s a young woman who absolutely commands the stage. She is ready to tackle any musical challenge and open to learn beyond her younger years.
She claims much of her fiery spirit came from the figure most every Southern girl counts as her hero - her father. Working a security job at a nearby nuclear weapons plant and also volunteering at the city′s fire department, Dana′s daddy still found the time to sing and, more impressionably, sing to his daughter. Ever appreciative of her family, Dana credits not only her father, but also her dedicated mother and older brother as the people who inspired and encouraged her.
And they encouraged her early on. The 22-year-old beauty found her music as far back as elementary school when she landed herself in school plays, talent shows - anything that would showcase her wonderful, potent voice. Writing lyrics by the age of 13, Dana also turned poetry to song and by her early teens was soliciting musicians to compose her lyrics and melodies.
For now, the hard working singer is balancing a waitressing job while fronting the band Everything After based out of Columbia, South Carolina. She′s also performing weekend gigs with the cover band The Tony Howard Show and Band, honing her skills and extending her craft. Ever ambitious and musically open, Dana′s work ethic and talent will take her far, with both an infectious smile and a rocking, raised fist in the air. Yes - this is how we like our Southern girls.
