Details:
Toronto singer/songwriter, Andrea Florian has been writing and performing for the last 10 years. Picture This is her 4th full length album to date.Produced by the acclaimed John Switzer (Jane Siberry), Picture This was a labour of love that was in the works for three years. Florian's best work yet, the record is a natural progression of her trademark folk-pop sound and honest poetic lyricism. Featuring collaborations with local guitarist Tracy Jones and several high-profile musical guests (including Big Sugar's Al Cross & Kurt Swinghammer), Picture This is the latest chapter in a remarkable musical career.

Florian has been a fixture on the local music scene for the past six years, making new fans the old-fashioned way-show by show. With three other well-received albums on her own Bathsheba Records label, she's the epitome of the hardworking indie artist, booking her own tours to Australia (where she appeared on the national music channel), the U.K., and Europe, as well as frequent trips to the U.S. Her enthusiasm and perseverance even landed her a coveted full-page feature in Billboard Magazine, which wrote, "Florian's career is heating up."

So why would she take a break just as her career was taking off? Well, any great songwriter needs to expand her horizons, and Florian decided to seize a new challenge-managing a specialty drug and health food store in north Toronto. With her trademark flair, Florian has turned the shop into an oasis, introducing all-natural and holistic products into the aisles-much to the delight of customers, who are quickly warming to the concept.

Taking on a new responsibility and spending some time away from the grind of touring has enabled Florian to recharge her musical batteries, and she has written several new songs in the interim that she's excited to premiere her next few live shows.

Being away from music has only revived Florian's desire to share a bit of herself and her world through her songs. In the words of Niagara's PULSE Weekly: "It's just a matter of time before she's 'discovered' and becomes an 'overnight sensation'-after years of dedicated hard work." Picture that.
