Born in Minnesota, the three Andrews sisters grew up in a house full of music. All three showed great vocal talent, and they genuinely enjoyed singing together, mimicking their favorite trio the Boswell Sisters. They visited the Orpheum Theaters in Minneapolis to see the stars of Vaudeville, and dreamed of their big break.
Maxene Andrews was born on January 3, 1916.
