Andy Crosby, a seasoned Idaho-based singer-songwriter, is no stranger to the spotlight. After spending a decade as a hired musician in his brother Jeff Crosby’s band, Andy has carved out his own space in the music world with his introspective and emotive sound. Now, with his debut solo album American Love Story releasing on November 22nd, Crosby invites listeners into his world—one shaped by love, heartache, and unwavering resilience.
A Career Built on Perseverance
Andy’s musical journey wasn’t without its challenges. At a crossroads in his career, he faced a critical choice: to give in to doubt or to push forward. Choosing to persevere, he started writing and performing solo acoustic gigs across Idaho, building a loyal fanbase with his raw and vulnerable lyrics.
Reflecting on his early days, Andy shares, “I was in a now-or-never position. Instead of ‘letting the bastards win,’ I just started writing and playing solo gigs. I’ve never looked back.”
A Decade of Touring Experience
What sets Andy apart is his extensive touring experience. Having spent 10 years on the road with Jeff Crosby’s band, Andy honed his craft on stages across the country. This foundation gave him the confidence and expertise to launch his solo career.
Andy has opened for acts like Colby Acuff, Corb Lund, and Andrew Sheppard, and shared stages with legendary performers such as Reckless Kelly, Wade Bowen, and Lukas Nelson. These experiences have shaped his sound—a blend of Americana, alt-rock, and emo-folk that resonates deeply with fans of all ages.
American Love Story: A Debut Worth Listening To
Recorded in Austin, Texas, with acclaimed producer Jonathan Tyler, American Love Story is a deeply personal album. Featuring nine tracks, the record explores themes of love, heartbreak, and mental health, offering a soundtrack for those navigating pain and searching for hope.
“I make music for people in pain, as I’ve battled depression my whole life,” Andy explains. “This album is for anyone who feels deeply and needs a space to heal.”
Tracks from American Love Story showcase Andy’s signature introspection and emotional depth, earning him comparisons to artists like Bright Eyes and Ryan Adams.
A Vision for the Future
Andy dreams of taking his music beyond the U.S., with aspirations of touring Europe and continuing to write and record. With his debut album and a recently completed solo West Coast tour, he’s poised to make his mark on the global music scene.
