Andrew McMahon is my all-time favorite musician. I've loved him in all his iterations - Something Corporate, Jack's Mannequin, and now Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness. Not only is he a super talented piano player, song writer, and performer, he also survived cancer and is an all-around fantastic person.
Since 2003, I've seen him live approx. 12 - 20 times, and have gotten to meet him a couple times.
Circa 2006 aka the black faux-hawk days of Jack's Mannequin. 😍
One of his many shows I saw at the Viper Room in LA... living in your fave musician's hometown makes for MANY great concerts.
The latest of these wonderful concerts/meet and greets was last Friday. He was opening for Panic! At the Disco (who knew they were still a band?! and apparently have a huge rabid following of angsty teens?!?) and Weezer. While Weezer was cool, I went solely to see my boy Andrew. His set was AMAZING (one of the best of his I've seen) even though it was wayyy too short.
But the best part happened after his set when he tweeted this...
So naturally I was like...
I got to chat with him briefly and take the best picture of our 13+ year relationship.
Shout out to Chris for supporting my extreme fangirl-ness and taking these action shots.
It was absolutely the highlight of my month so far, and my heart didn't beat at a normal pace for over an hour after this occurred.
If you haven't listened to the glory that is Andrew McMahon yet, here's a great little starter kit for you... ENJOY! (And go see him live next time he's in your town). :)
xoxo,
Annie.
