This we we rock with Andorra! The guys bring their indie rock style to you for another new episode. Watch with us tonight! Tune in for new music every episode. If you have an original band drop us a line, we're always looking for submissions. For more on the band check out the write-up below.
The Philadelphia Indie music scene is thick with talent and The Sunday Sessions Project is thrilled to welcome Andorra, a band that has been an integral part of that scene for ten years.
Andorra started, as so many bands do, with a childhood collaboration between Kevin McCall and Jordan Petrellis. The band has had many different players over the years but these two continue to be the backbone of the band. Michael Trycieckj joined the band after having known Kevin forever and Dante DiLoreto rounded out the lineup after meeting Kevin while they both attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
Kevin McCall - guitar, vocals
Jordan Petrellis - drums
Michael Trycieckyj - bass, keys, vocals, harmonica, viola & theremin
Dante DiLoreto - guitar, vocals
Andorra's music is straight up Rock 'n Roll with a touch of their early 90's progressive influences. Kevin and Michael are the primary songwriters. On their new album, Family Tree, you get a lot of truly personal and private stories mixed with a great rock sound that is uniquely Andorra’s. Even when addressing tragedy, the guys don't mix it with maudlin riffs but rather keep it rocking. The title song "Family Tree" is about a true-life miscarriage that left Kevin with one less brother and an acknowledged hole in his family. He credits his father with his forthrightness. Kevin says that the record is "definitely hard rock with some blues rock added to the mix" and even a little Neil Young style storytelling.

They are currently adapting their music and working style to the new realities of a Covid world. They want to play out so they are hoping to put together an acoustic set that could work with the todays live music scene. They also have a separate EP project that has a boogie blues rock sound. They are putting together a documentary film that will chronicle their many lineups and years of music.
Check out their set this Sunday and give a listen, https://youtu.be/PaLN9uto9Pw
They are thrilled with the reception their music received at radio 104.5 annual anniversary show where they have opened for Florence and the Machine and The Killers.
