Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, Andy has never strayed from the soulful bends and warm twang of the music that sparked his desire to pick up a guitar and start writing music at age 15. Now, a seasoned blend of blues, country, and bluegrass can be heard in Andy’s recorded music and live shows over 200 days of the year. 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 RHINESTONE show debuted at the Historic El Campanil Theatre in Antioch CA and continues to receive enthusiastic raves throughout its ongoing performance stops. From Nashville to San Francisco, headline events and concert appearances include Performing Arts Centers, popular Music Venues and Special Events like the prestigious Valhalla Tahoe Festival preserving Tahoe heritage through Art, Music and Theatre.
