“Every song is so delicate – I feel like if I don’t play just right, they might break.” This
is how lead guitarist, Andrew Arcadi, describes Anadel’s music. The sound of this six
member band lives up to these words with their textured and unique music. With a hint
of many genres, American folk, blues, alternative, indie and classical, this collective of
styles becomes something entirely different.

Anadel first began to form when JT Bailey began to compose his own music and
lyrics while in his teens. It wasn’t long until his sister, Keri (violin & backing vocals),
joined in, then their dad, Tom (drums), and finally their brother, Steven (keyboard).
Deciding, in 2010, to expand and develop their sound as a band, they enlisted the help of
two “outsiders” to fill out the sound, and the band came into being.

Anadel sprang into the Napa music scene, playing their first show in early 2011, and
quickly gained a reputation as an excellent live act. JT’s melodies, pointed and personal
lyrics, mixed with the phenomenal and often haunting backing violin from his sister,
Keri, creates a beautiful blend of classical and folk sounds. When you add guitarist,
Andrew Arcadi, pianist, Steven Bailey, percussionist, Tom Bailey, and bassist, Ben
Guerrieri, the music takes on a rocky edge that, blended with the classical and folk
sensibilities of JT and Keri, combines into an interesting landscape of sound that is as
unique as it is beautiful.
