Over the last two decades, the veteran indie-pop singer-songwriter has experienced musical rebirth many times, ever since he started entertaining audiences in the ‘00s alt-pop outfit Something Corporate, and he’s consistently arrived on the other side stronger than ever. After leading Something Corporate to major chart success in the early 2000s, McMahon soon resurfaced with the more personal solo project Jack’s Mannequin. On the cusp of releasing their 2005 debut, he was diagnosed with leukemia at age 22. Eventually fully recovered, McMahon went on to release two more studio albums with Jack’s Mannequin and established The Dear Jack Foundation, which provides programming to benefit adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer. McMahon then earned an Emmy Award nomination for songs he composed for the NBC series Smash, and in 2014 released Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, which also became his moniker. McMahon is currently releasing music from his new album Tilt At The Wind No More, out March 31 on Nettwerk Music Group.
