Andrew Kenny is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is best known as the frontman for the indie rock band The American Analog Set,[1] which he founded in 1995,[2] and as the main singer-songwriter of The Wooden Birds, an Austin-based indie rock band that initially began as a side project of his in 2008.[3] He has also performed as a guest artist with other various musical acts throughout his career, including The Album Leaf, Her Space Holiday, Styrofoam, and Arthur & Yu.[1]
In 2003, he released a split EP in the Home Series (Vol. V) with Benjamin Gibbard. In 2005, he contributed towards Broken Social Scene's 2005 self-titled album. 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 R. Johnson.[4] In 2014, Kenny scored a second Johnson film, Two Step, which premiered later that year at the SXSW Film Festival.[5]
