Welcome to Insights, everyone. Today, we’re excited to share a recent conversation between Amy Wright and acclaimed Nashville-based Americana rock artist, Andrew Leahey. In today’s talk, they dig into Andrew’s musical journey, which started when he was just a little a kid, and they work their way up the present where Andrew stays very, very busy, touring as a hired gun for artists like Elizabeth Cook, leading his own band, Andrew Leahey and the Homestead, who just released a new album titled American Static, Vol. 1, and on top of that, he’s a renowned music journalist that’s constantly churning out new articles.  We’re grateful to have him on the show and that he was able to share some time with us, and we’re excited for you to get to know him a little bit better. From his living room in Nashville's Germantown neighborhood, here’s Andrew Leahey and Amy Wright, only on DittyTV. Part of Pantheon Podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.
