Early life
Andrews was born in Normal, Illinois and brought up in Johnson City, Tennessee. She is an alumna of East Tennessee State University.

Career
Jill Andrews began writing songs when she was 19 years old and her music career began in 2004 when she co-founded the alt-country group The Everybodyfields. In October 2009, only four months after The Everybodyfields break-up was announced, Andrews put together a new band and released a self-titled EP. The six-song EP was produced by Andrews and recorded live to 8-track by producer/engineer Scott Minor in his home studio.

While Andrews toured the country in 2010 to promote her EP she recorded her first solo album, The Mirror. In order to fund the release of the album, Andrews used Kickstarter to raise over $12,000 with the help of 279 backers. The record had two producers, Scott Solter and Neilson Hubbard; each recording tracks at two different studios in North Carolina and Nashville, respectively.

On September 25, 2015, Andrews released her second full-length album, The War Inside. The album was produced by Will Sayles. The track "I'm So in Love With You" features Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers.

Andrews released her EP, Ellen on October 29, 2021, which features six never-released tracks that harken back to her beginnings as a new songwriter in Nashville.

In 2018, Jill Andrews and Peter Groenwald started the indie-folk duo, Hush Kids. The group released a self-titled album on October 26 that was produced by Grammy Award winner Ian Fitchuk. The duo reunited with Fitchuk in 2021 to release their latest EP, Weatherman.

Personal life
Andrews has two children: son Nico, and daughter Falcon.
