Andrew Kirell is an Americana singer-songwriter making tear-in-your-beer, soulful rock 'n' roll that sounds timeless—like it could’ve been recorded in 1969 or today. By day, he is a senior editor at a major news outlet, and has spent a decade in journalism, all while privately writing hundreds of songs, yearning for a more cathartic way to connect with others during increasingly confusing times.
