Country Music Rocks (CMR): Tell us a little about your new collection of music in 2021, what can fans expect?
Andrew Beam: We are dropping our debut album “Selma by Sundown” on April 16th. Fans can expect a collection of songs spanning the gamut of solid country subjects. Everything from slow steel rides to rocking traditional groves, written and recorded in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
CMR: Even though 2021 is not completely certain quite yet, what are some of your career goals throughout the year?
Andrew Beam: We are ready to hit the road as soon as restrictions lift. A Texas tour is really the main goal in the upcoming months, and our thoughts are with those affected by the recent snowstorm power outages. I have been working on a lot of new material aside from the songs on the upcoming album, and am looking forward to giving fans a first listen.
CMR: In addition to performing, what else did you miss most not being able to be out on the road last year during 2020?
Andrew Beam: I honestly miss meeting new people and extending our rock-solid network of fans as much as I miss the stage. Aside from playing, I enjoy getting to hang out with some of the best individuals in the most interesting places wherever the shows take us.
CMR: If everything goes as planned, and performing/touring resumes for this year, how would you best describe your shows/set for 2021?
Andrew Beam: Next Level. We have a solid set of new songs to showcase along with the album and some select covers that no one will expect.
CMR: As fans continue to get to know you, what is one thing you would like to convey to fans about you and your music?
Andrew Beam: It’s about as real as it gets…from who I am to the songs. I am definitely an outsider by taking a different path away from music city, but what you see and hear is as true as my twang.
CMR: Even though CRS is quite a bit different this year, we are still celebrating country radio which is such a staple to everyone in the country music community. What is one of your all time favorite country songs that you just can’t get enough of country radio?
Andrew Beam: “Anything but Mine” by Kenny Chesney
