Episode #167 Andrew Wiscombe - From Army Sniper to Award-Winning Songwriter Mar 11, 2024

Show notes

In this episode I'm talking with Utah-based songwriter and US Army vet Andrew Wiscombe.
A former Army Sniper turned Berklee trained award-winning songwriter, Andrew’s ability to clothe stories, words, and emotions in American roots music has received great praise from fans and critics alike. He has drawn many comparisons to some of the great contemporary songwriters/poets of our time. Wiscombe has shared the stage with the likes of Ray Wylie Hubbard, .38 Special, Mary Gauthier, Julian Lage, Dorothy, The Lil Smokies, Micky and the Motorcars and many others. Whether singing through the eyes of a child, the hands of a hard-working family man (he is a dedicated husband and father of three boys) or through the scope of his sniper rifle, Andrew has a story to share that will resonate with the most human parts of the listener.
