The early years of vocalist Petra van Nuis were filled with classical music, which led to her professional debut at age eleven, singing with the Cincinnati Opera Company and by age twelve she was on the road with her first national tour. Petra went on to study ballet in NYC and San Francisco and musical theater at the University of Cincinnati’s College Conservatory of Music. This career direction changed dramatically when she met guitarist Andy Brown in high school, eventually married him and began her love affair with jazz. Andy and Petra often perform and record together and their latest collaboration, Lonely Girl—I Remember Julie, celebrates another guitar/vocal duo, Julie London and Al Viola and their album, Lonely Girl.
