Andrew McMahon

On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Andrew McMahon.

Back in the early 2000s, McMahon catapulted to pop-punk fame as the vocalist and pianist in Something Corporate.

While the band took a break, he started writing solo songs that formed the nucleus of Jack’s Mannequin, whose first album, 2005’s Everything in Transit, covered the collapse of a long-term relationship while unknowingly foreshadowing his cancer diagnosis.

These days, he’s fronting Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, though he’s gone on a reunion tour and released new music with Something Corporate in the past couple of years.

Sitting across from Joel, he enters a reflective space, opening up about finding his place in music, channeling grief into songwriting, and how decades of reinvention have shaped his career.
