ABOUT OUR PERFORMERS:

Andrea Wilson Woods is a bestselling author, speaker, comedian, and patient advocate whose work is rooted in storytelling. Whether she is commanding a stage, writing a book, making an audience laugh, or advocating for patients, Andrea uses stories to turn hard truths into ideas people can understand—and remember. As founder of Blue Faery, she transformed personal loss into a national force for liver cancer education and support, because apparently grief was not enough work. She speaks about resilience, reinvention, leadership, and saying yes before fear finishes its PowerPoint. Andrea is sharp, candid, ambitious, and allergic to corporate jargon and boring stories.

Mitchell Hastings was raised in Oneonta, Alabama. A lifelong musician and storyteller, Mitchell attended Belmont University in Nashville where he studied Political Science and Music Business. He is currently a trial lawyer, and practices his storytelling with his two young sons.

In 2017, Johnny was Top 24 Finalist on NBC’s The Voice. His audition performance earned chair turns from coaches Adam Levine and Gwen Stefani.
In July 2025, Johnny’s single “Broken Bow”, written with Kapali Long, won 2nd place in the Alt. Country category for the Wide Open Country Song contest by renowned songwriting publication American Songwriter.
