You’ve been crossing off the days on your calendar for months now, and the time is finally almost here – the 2013 edition of the Vans Warped Tour kicks off this Saturday.

Honestly, one of my favorite singer songwriters has been Andrew McMahon. Being at Drive Thru Records and hearing original SoCo demo’s I was blown away – I remember the early comparisons we used to say relating SoCo to Billy Joel with a rock indie feel to it. Since then, Andrew has worked his ass off – devoting his DIY attitude and non-stop touring and his many music endeavors to have a permanent fixture in the music industry. I was blessed and honored to speak with him so give it a listen and support his new EP!
