Andrew Leahey & The Homestead

Andrew Leahey & The Homestead serve up guitar-driven rock with a hearty dose of power pop and heartland grit. Fronted by Nashville-based songwriter, guitarist, and music journalist Andrew Leahey, the band channels timeless American rock & roll with big choruses, shimmering melodies, and a "plugged-in-and-go" energy. A brain tumor survivor who retrained himself to play guitar after surgery, Leahey infuses his music with themes of resilience and forward motion. Recent releases like *American Static, Vol. 2* and the anthemic *Kick Move Shake* showcase his knack for fist-pumping hooks and sun-soaked riffs, while tracks like *Stay Awake* and *Phosphorescent* lean into introspective storytelling. Backed by The Homestead—a rotating crew of seasoned players—Leahey’s live shows crank up the urgency, cementing his reputation as a road-tested act keeping rock’s rebellious spirit alive.
