Over the last 25 years, Andrew McMahon has successfully experienced musical rebirth many times and has consistently arrived on the other side stronger than ever. A child prodigy who was born and raised on the East Coast before moving to Southern California as a teenager, McMahon began stunning classmates and teachers with his ability to connect through song at an early age.

By 1998, he co-founded the pop-punk outfit Something Corporate while in high school, serving as singer, pianist, and songwriter, and leading the band to major chart success in the early 2000s with Leaving Through the Window and North. Soon after, McMahon resurfaced in 2005 with the deeply personal solo project Jack’s Mannequin, releasing three acclaimed studio albums, including the Gold-certified Everything In Transit and the two subsequent Billboard Top 10 albums The Glass Passenger and People and Things.

In 2014, McMahon released his debut album under his own name and new moniker, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, featuring the breakout top 5 Alternative radio single “Cecilia and the Satellite.” He followed with the hook-packed Wilderness albums like Zombies on Broadway, which featured another top 5 single “Fire Escape," Upside Down Flowers, and Tilt At The Wind No More.

Across his three projects, McMahon has sold nearly 2.5 million albums, surpassed 1.3 billion streams, has performed at major festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits, and toured alongside the likes of Weezer, Panic! At The Disco, Gavin DeGraw, Dashboard Confessional, and even his idol, Billy Joel. McMahon has also received an Emmy nomination for his work on the NBC show “Smash” and launched his own curated cruise experience, Andrew McMahon’s Holiday From Real. In July 2025, he brought all three of his acts together at Red Rocks Amphitheatre making history with his sold-out Three Pianos show, where he became the first artist to perform as opening act, direct support, and headliner at the iconic venue all in one special career-spanning night.

But behind this story of constant evolution lies a deeply personal journey. McMahon’s path was shaped by his very public battle with leukemia at the age of 22. Those challenges not only influenced his songwriting but also inspired the founding of the Dear Jack Foundation in 2006, a nonprofit that supports adolescents and young adults facing cancer. His survival and continued creativity are also chronicled in the documentary “Dear Jack” and his searingly honest 2021 memoir Three Pianos, which blends personal storytelling with original music scored by McMahon himself.

Through it all, McMahon has found solace and hope in the things that matter most: his family and the one instrument he’s always turned to, his piano. He has built a career on resilience, reinvention, and the healing power of music, creating a body of work that continues to inspire others as much as it has sustained him.

Andrew McMahon is repped by Morgan Young, Ryan Carignan, Adam Smith, and Mat Whittington at C3 Management, Julie Colbert (Film) and Ron Opaleski and Michael Coughlin (Music) at WME, and Bari Lieberman at Press Here Publicity.

Meet redheaded triple-threat Ivory Layne — a natural-born songwriter who began songwriting at age six and taught herself music production as a teenager. Since then, she has cultivated a distinct creative voice entirely her own, earning the attention of artists like Justin Timberlake and Meghan Trainor along the way. Guided by a passion for artistry over algorithms, Layne has built a dedicated audience through offline experiences and a thriving Patreon community.


From Nashville to London, Layne has collaborated with acclaimed writers and producers including Jimmy Robbins, Shane McAnally, Natalie Hemby, Lori McKenna, Liam Howe, Eg White, Cam Blackwood, Ash Howes, Paul Mabury, and Ian Archer. She has shared stages with Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness, Aly & AJ, Needtobreathe, Andy Grammer, Ben Rector, and The Script, while also writing for artists including Tom Grennan, Something Corporate, MŌRIAH, and others.


As an independent artist, Layne has earned four consecutive BBC Radio 2 playlist placements and recently took home first place in the Pop/Top 40 category at the 2025 International Songwriting Competition, further cementing her reputation as a standout songwriter and artist. With new music on the horizon, Layne continues building on the momentum of recent single, Skim, while continuing to highlight her distinctive songwriting, evolving sound, and commitment to creating art on her own terms.

$1 per ticket goes towards The Dear Jack Foundation, which provides impactful programming that directly benefits adolescents and young adults diagnosed with cancer in order to improve their quality of life and create positive health outcomes from treatment to survivorship for patients and their families.
