BIOGRAPHY
“He’s laid his life bare.” That’s the remark a friend made after a first listen to Let the Thief Make Honest Work With His Hands, Americana singer-songwriter Andrew Michael Akins’ debut full-length album. It leaves an impression like a faint childhood scar, as if you’ve known the story for years. Akins’ poignant storytelling and genre-bending genius is on full display, as it is in his follow-up EP The Corner Room. Self-produced, each release bookended 2019, respectively, and has earned him a loyal local following in his hometown of Amarillo, TX, garnering comparisons to Gregory Alan Isakov and David Ramirez.
