Nashville-based singer/songwriter Andrew Leahey works in the storied tradition of American roots rock, alt-country, and classic pop. A rock & roll songsmith in the tonal lineage of Petty and Springsteen, Leahey began coming into his own as an artist in the early 2010s, fronting his band the Homestead. Temporarily sidelined by a 2013 brain tumor, the singer/guitarist bootstrapped his way back to health and artistic activity, returning with a vengeance to release 2016's triumphant Skyline in Central Time and its more rock-driven 2019 follow-up, Airwaves. The two-part double-album American Static, Vol. 1 kicked off in October 2021 with a diverse set that explored myriad corners of rock music including psych rock and piano pop. The similarly rangy Vol. 2 followed in May 2022.
