Anderson East

Nashville-based singer/songwriter Anderson East wrote his first song for a 7th grade talent show, going on to play piano and write music all through high school. He grew up steeped in gospel music, as his grandfather was a Baptist preacher, his father sang in the church choir, and his mother played the piano in church. His sound, as heard in his 2015 single “Satisfy Me,” is known for combining soul, R&B, and roots rock. His latest release, Worthy, finds him in a relaxed, exploratory mood with longtime bandmates, and carries a strong message of love, gratitude, and acceptance.
