Anderson East walks the line separating throwback rock & roll and soul within the boundaries of Americana. Graced with a gravelly voice equally suited for punchy pop and introspective folk, East released a pair of albums on his own at the dawn of the 2010s before making the leap to the majors with 2015's Delilah. He received some attention for that record, but it was 2018's Encore that got him onto the Billboard charts and snagged him a Grammy nomination for Best American Roots Performance in 2018 for "All on My Mind." He capitalized on that momentum with 2021's moody, soulful Maybe We Never Die.
