Anderson East

GRAMMY® Award-nominated Alabama-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and performer Anderson East has always seamlessly trafficked between heritage soul, Americana, gospel, R&B, blues, roots, and rock. Following his independent debut Flowers of the Broken Hearted [2012], he continued to hone his voice and vision on Delilah [2015] and Encore [2018]. In addition to eclipsing 100 million streams, the latter yielded the single “All on My Mind,” which notably garnered a 2019 GRAMMY® Award nod in the category of “Best American Roots Performance.” In between sold out headline gigs in historic venues such as the Ryman, he delivered soaring and scorching performances on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, TODAY, Late Night with Seth Meyers, PBS’ Austin City Limits, and more. Maybe We Never Die arrived to widespread tastemaker acclaim in 2021. Forbes raved, “Maybe We Never Die is fit for dancing through the end of the world,” NPR noted, “his hefty vocals seem only more urgent in this subdued setting,” and American Songwriter praised, “characterized by his gentle, mesmerizing melodies and warm, twang-tinged vocal contributions, East sets the standard of continuously expanding artistry across the 12-track collection.” Following the album’s release, he holed up in the world-renowned FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL with his bandmates and longtime collaborator and producer Dave Cobb to cut a new version of the record entitled M.W.N.D. / F.A.M.E. [Low Country Sound/Elektra] for 2022. Performing face-to-face in this hallowed locale, they stripped the songs to their core only to give them another dimension altogether with every bit of soul, spark, and spirit intact.
