Artist's Biography
Across
the Cumberland River from Music City, the burgeoning neighborhood of East
Nashville has become a haven for artists, songwriters, and other creatives.
One such songwriter is Andrew Adkins, who has been a part of the Nashville
community for over a decade. As the city expands and modernizes while
preserving its heritage, so too does Andrew’s music.
Early in his career, Adkins co-founded two dynamic groups which served as
introductions to the music business. He toured with his blues-infused power
trio, Mellow Down Easy (Dualtone Records), for eight years. His gritty-rock
band, Lions for Real, made waves amongst the music industry before catching
the attention of Werewolf Heart Records, the indie-label fronted by actor
Ryan Gosling. The band imploded almost as quickly as it surfaced, leaving
Adkins uncertain of his musical future.
After years of collaborating in bands, Andrew decided to step away and
develop his own distinct sound -- a unique blend of roots-influenced,
neo-psychedelic rock. Since 2013, he has released several critically
acclaimed solo albums. His songs have been featured in television and film
(CBS, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, History, MTV, Oxygen, and Lionsgate
Films). Andrew has shared the stage with artists including Sturgill Simpson,
Cage the Elephant, Little Big Town, A Thousand Horses, Dum Dum Girls, David
"Honeyboy" Edwards, Billy Joe Shaver, and Wayne "The Train" Hancock among
others.
