Andrea’s very own Dolly Parton tribute act has since been hailed as one of the few tribute acts to do justice to the original songs. Incorporating a natural flair for performance into her act, Andrea’s Dolly Parton tribute act is the next best thing to the original act. Andrea’s unparalleled commitment to her act has seen her swap her broad Geordie accent for a convincing Tennessee twang. Her unbridled enthusiasm for Dolly Parton’s performance does not stop there; since 2011, Andrea has had all her costumes handmade as direct replicas of their originals.
Her hard work soon paid off when she was afforded the opportunity to meet the legend herself, an experience which unsurprisingly proved to be one of the most exciting highlights of her entire career. Always eager to further improve her performances, Andrea is currently in the process of writing her very own country music album. In addition, her wonderful showmanship has already found its way into the theatre, where Andrea has fronted a theatre tribute show entitled The Dolly Parton Story.
During her live performances, Andrea is accompanied by a live four-piece backing band playing powerful renditions of Dolly Parton’s most celebrated material. This experience enhances and further hones the fantastic act that Andrea continually strives to perfect, functioning as a worthy extension to her brilliant solo tribute act. Her love for Dolly Parton’s greatest musical works shines through in her commitment to each and every performance.
As a result of this, Andrea has been able to treat a vast number of audiences to an accurate and authentic tribute to Dolly Parton, both as wedding entertainment and corporate entertainment. As a performer who is naturally suited to a career in the public eye, Andrea appeared on The Weakest Link as part of a special tribute act episode in late 2010. Her ability to deliver a spot-on performance saw her come second overall, proving her success both on and off the stage.
Aside from the television screen, Andrea is often found performing the greatest hits of her idol on private and corporate stages.
