With two influential bands and a sold out solo tour of the USA under his belt, ANDREW MCMAHON thoroughly deserves his place as a true star in the music scene. Best known as the piano-pounding front man of Something Corporate and Jackʼs Mannequin, his smooth voice and touching lyrics have amassed loyal and adoring fans the world over.
To a music fan of any age, the name Something Corporate brings back a flood of memories and induces dewy-eyed nostalgia. With pensive piano and chugging guitars, ANDREW MCMAHON wrote sincerely of loneliness, homesickness and longing, ensuring the band’s enduring appeal. “SoCo was light years ahead of its time, insightful and smart” (Riverfront Times), paving the way for the numerous melancholic introspective bands that followed after their hiatus in 2004. |
Weaving beautiful metaphors through piano-laced rock, ANDREW MCMAHON’s live shows are stuff of legend, “Whether it was through his animated facial expressions, sharing his presence with the different sides of the stage, or jumping off the piano… McMahon knew exactly how to get his fans to that feverish pitch that felt as if it could bring down the whole building.” – Rocknroll Ghost
Power-pop and piano-rock has never sounded so sincere and we are delighted to confirm ANDREW MCMAHON will be touring Australia in February. With help from Bobby Anderson he will be performing songs acoustically from his brilliant solo career along with definitive hits from Something Corporate and Jack’s Mannequin.

The show begins before we’ve even entered the room. An usher approaches, explaining that to gain admission, tickets are not enough. We’ll need to remove our shoes and any socks and crowd into the shopfront’s store room, leaving behind our footwear. As compensation we will be given a small torch. Crammed into the dark room with forty other people and their exposed feet, we wait for the show to begin.
