With his roots in Texas, singer and songwriter Andrew Combs has been steadily growing his branches in Nashville. In essence, he is a storyteller. His sharp, southern voice carves out stories and carries you through the ridges, making you feel as if you whittled out this story from your own past. When accompanied by fellow singer and song- writer Heidi Feek, the contrast is deep, dark, and beautiful. Her tranquil and smokey style pairs with Combs' reflective exuberance like a cold glass of whiskey and a long cigarette on a sunny day.
Following in the footsteps of his major influences like Guy Clark, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, and Townes Van Zandt, Combs vocalizes the beauty and turmoil of our vices and virtues. His debut EP Tennessee Time captures the songwriting and performing prowess that he has long been developing. The EP’s title track is a heartfelt tribute to the southern state delivered with as much simplicity and genius as songs like “City of New Orleans” and “Georgia on My Mind”. It is enough to make Tennessee’s children bloom with pride and its out-of-state visitors weak with envy. With four other songs, including "Too Stoned To Cry" and "Wanderin' Heart" that easily rival the strength of the title track, Tennessee Time is just a taste that will surely leave the listener wanting more from Andrew Combs.
