BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Anderson East, aka Michael Anderson, was born in Athens, GA in 1988. Though there weren’t many opportunities for aspiring musicians in his hometown, something clicked when a neighbor showed up at his door with a guitar. East began writing his own music as soon as he picked up the instrument, and he already had a wealth of material to draw from when he self-released his 2009 debut EP Closing Credits for a Fire. He switched to the more memorable moniker Anderson East the following year for his second EP Fire Demons. For his 2012 full-length debut Flowers for the Broken Hearted, East flew to Los Angeles to record with a cast of top-notch studio musicians. There, his powerful live performances further fueled his rise. Producer Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell) caught one of East’s live performances and insisted on helming the sessions for the singer’s 2015 major label debut Delilah. That record helped introduce Anderson East to a wider audience, and his soulful and dynamic live shows continue to convert listeners across the country.
