BIO
As featured on Spotify’s ‘Got Blues’ and ‘Best Blues of 2022’ editorial playlists, Andy Kahrs’ distinct blend of roots genres, coupled with his “vocal prowess” (Music Mecca) and slide-guitar/fingerpicking style bring his southern roots and storytelling sensibilities to life. His authentic tone draws equally from Randy Travis and Otis Redding, yet stands out as uniquely his own. Originally from Atlanta, GA, Kahrs has made Nashville, TN his home since 2018.
Kahrs has worked with producers Zach Allen (Keb’ Mo’, Kingfish) and Bobby Holland (Maggie Rose, ZZ Ward) for recent releases, and is preparing a new acoustic project for release in the first half of 2024. In addition to touring his original music, Kahrs performs across the US as the lead singer and guitarist in ‘Rhinestone: The Songs of Glen Campbell’, paying tribute to one of country’s music’s brightest stars while raising awareness for Alzheimer’s research.
With thousands of monthly Spotify listeners and a busy touring schedule, Kahrs has made a name for himself as one to watch in the Americana scene. His upcoming 2024 releases and tour will feature an acoustic sound that experiments with the well-worn boundaries of blues and slide guitar.
