Andrew Leahey

[1] His parents played soundtracks such as Good Morning, Vietnam, The Big Chill and American Graffiti in their home,[2] and Leahey developed an interest in rock and roll.

[2] Leahey graduated J.R. Tucker High School in 2001, then went to University of Virginia, where he formed and fronted his first band called Hobson's Choice.

[5] In 2007, Leahey moved to Ann Arbor, Michigan so he could join the writing staff of the online music database AllMusic (allmusic.com).

[4] In Nashville, Leahey has played guitar, recorded and toured with many artists, appearing onstage with Elizabeth Cook, Rodney Crowell, Drew Holcomb, Will Hoge,[6] and Butch Walker.

With that album, and the Summer Sleeves EP released in 2013, Leahey refined his roots rock and roll, guitar-oriented music style.

[3][10] The album was produced by drummer, Wilco co-founder and Grammy Award winner, Ken Coomer,[2] and released by Thirty Tigers.

The eleven songs were produced by Paul Ebersol, and reflected the rock and roll influences of Leahey's youth, as well as more recent artists.

[6] The title track, "Airwaves", is a tribute to that FM rock and roll radio Leahey grew up with, and the album includes a cover of Echo & the Bunnymen's "Lips Like Sugar".
