Andrew McManus is a Massachusetts born musician based in the Greater Boston area. His sound blends modern country storytelling with influences from 90’s punk rock of his childhood. In 2016, he founded his band after graduating college, and began gaining momentum in the New England country music theme. He later released his debut single, “I Won’t Wait”, released in November 2021, and his 8 releases have now surpassed 10,000 streams.
Since 2022, Andrew has been featured on Boston radio stations Country 102.5, and 101.7 The Bull, while also earning opportunities to share the stage with Artists such as Clint Black (2024), Russel Dickerson (2023,2025), Mitchell Tenpenny (2023), and Matt Stell (2o23).
Carolyn Kruse, Country 102.5 says, “Andrew is definitely finding his lane to drive his passions. He has written a clever and catching single, “Song That Got the Girl.” It’s has a personal meaning to him, and you can sense that in his performance. There’s a welcome blend of softer moments mixed with rocking guitar riffs to help deliver Andrew’s story.”
Andrew performs with his band as well as a solo acoustic act. On September 26th, 2026 Andrew opened as an acoustic solo act for the East Coast Combs Tribute Band at Saddle Up Saloon in Kingston, NH.
