Andrew Kenny is the main singer/songwriter of the American indie/lo-fi band American Analog Set. In 2004 he released a split EP in the Home Series (Vol. V) with Benjamin Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie, All-Time Quarterback, and The Postal Service. Andrew Kenny toured briefly with Broken Social Scene in 2007 and with Ola Podrida in 2008 before moving back home to Austin to work on his own recordings. In 2008 Kenny wrote, and performed the entire score for the short film Pickup and Return which was written and directed by award winning writer/director Alex Johnson.|His latest project is called the Wooden Birds and is his best effort to date. The Wooden Birds’ first album, Magnolia, is now out on Barsuk Records in the US & Canada and on Morr Music in Europe. Fans of the the AmAnSet will recognize his voice and song writing immediately, but the arrangements on Magnolia are more vocal and percussion heavy than anything he’s done before.
The Wooden Birds also includes Ola Podrida songwriter and David Gordon Green film score composer, David Wingo and vocalist, guitarist, and AmAnSet guest artist, Leslie Sisson with drummer, Sean Haskins, and guitarist, Matt Pond, rounding out the live line-up.
