by Something in the Wilderness
Calling all Andrew McMahon fans: This show intends to pay tribute to all of the music Andrew has helped create in a song-by-song format. With a 20+ year-long music career spread among 3 different musical projects, Andrew is not only a musician, he is also a cancer survivor, philanthropist, and family man.Beginning with Something Corporate, formed with some friends from high school, Andrew established himself as a pop punk icon in the early 2000s. The band set themselves apart from the rest of the scene incorporating a piano into the popular pop/punk sound. Following three records and countless tours, Andrew went on to form a new project called Jack's Mannequin. This new direction allowed him to lean more into the piano pop/rock side of his music. While many of his original fans came along for the ride, he also gained an entirely new fanbase with his next three records and extensive world touring. This project helped boost his resume from a pop/punk frontman to a serious songwriter.

Bonus: Three Pianos in Chicago w/ Marci & Andy
Marci and Andy joined me for the recap in Chicago. I was able to spend time with each of them before and after the shows, so it felt fitting to review each show with each of them. We talk setlist, vibes, and the overall experience of these two very different shows in Chicago! I found the best way to celebrate a birthday is at an Andrew McMahon show with a bunch of fellow fans singing songs and celebrating together. Also, I had my very first VIP experience! Then, onto my second and final 3P experience! Catch it all and more on this episode.
