Andrew Leahey & The Homestead to appear at D.C.’s Hill Country BBQ

Andrew Leahey & The Homestead

“Andrew Leahey & The Homestead”

Thirty Tigers

Andrew Leahey, whose band calls both Nashville and Richmond, Virginia, home, knew that he had to release an album after a 2013 brain cancer scare, so the singer/songwriter pulled out all the stops for this self-titled debut for Thirty Tigers. “Little in Love” is an upbeat paeon to being with someone to share your life with, while “The Good Life” is an uptempo examination of what is truly important. “When the Hinges Give” is a reminder to seize every moment before it’s gone. Mr. Leahey is at his best when he’s most introspective, as on “10 Years Ago,” “Stable Hand” and album-capper “Who Wants an Easy Love?”

Mr. Leahey and his band will appear at the District’s Hill Country BBQ, located at 410 Seventh Street NW, on Feb. 4 at 8:30 p.m. There is no cover charge.
