More Artist Friendly is on the way. Following conversations with Chase Rice, Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, and Mikaela Hoover, Andrew McMahon will join Joel Madden on the latest episode of the series.
Back in the early 2000s, McMahon catapulted to pop-punk fame as the vocalist and pianist in Something Corporate. While the band took a break, he started writing solo songs that formed the nucleus of Jack’s Mannequin, whose first album, 2005’s Everything in Transit, covered the collapse of a long-term relationship while unknowingly foreshadowing his cancer diagnosis. These days, he’s fronting Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, though he’s gone on a reunion tour and released new music with Something Corporate in the past couple of years. Sitting across from Madden, he enters a reflective space, opening up about finding his place in music, channeling grief into songwriting, and how decades of reinvention have shaped his career.
