July 5 - Andrew Leahey and the Homestead- Andrew Leahey has ditched his classical roots in Juilliard and Carnegie Hall in favor of Tom Petty-influenced alt-country, premiering his band's new video, "Little in Love" on American Songwriter and releasing a new EP made with R.E.M. and Drive By Truckers producer David Barbe. The band employs organ, harmonized riffs, and pedal steel to create a rough-around-the-edges, Bob Dylan-inspired Americana sound.
