Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness is the solo project of Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin frontman Andrew McMahon, a singer/songwriter hailing from Concord, Massachusetts, U.S born on September 3rd, 1982. He released the project’s debut album in October 2014, cementing it with a headlining world tour the same year.
So, what exactly do you do after you’ve fronted two of the most revered and respected cult acts of your generation? That’s the question that Andrew McMahon found himself asking at the end of 2012, when his previous solo project Jack’s Mannequin were in the process of splitting up, and had played their final shows as a band over two nights at Los Angeles’ El Rey Theatre in November 2012. However, since the previous month people who had tried to access the Jack’s Mannequin website were redirected to a new website, confirming that McMahon was still going to be releasing music, it was just going to be under his own name in the future. It also announced his first solo live dates, first supporting Fun. and then heading off on his own headlining dates around the country.
McMahon’s debut solo release came at the end of April the following year, when his debut E.P “The Pop Underground” was released. However, more of 2013 was spent writing songs for NBC’s hit Broadway musical drama Smash than anything else. This all changed come 2014 however, when in July he announced that his debut solo album would be released under the name Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness. The self-titled record was released two months later, and ever since then McMahon has continued to be one of the most vital songwriters of his generation. Able to maintain his rabid fan-base no matter what form his music comes in, and we all know how fickle fan-bases can be. It’s a testament to their belief in him, and his skill as a musician and songwriter, that he continues to be as respected and loved as he’s always been. For that, Andrew McMahon comes highly recommended.
