SONG DIVING with Andy Grammer

We go Song Diving with Andy Grammer, the multi-platinum singer-songwriter behind hits like “Keep Your Head Up,” “Honey, I’m Good,” “Good to Be Alive,” and “Don’t Give Up on Me.”We get into the stories behind his songs, including how a 12-hour day of street performing without making a dollar inspired “Keep Your Head Up,” and how one of his biggest hits, “Honey, I’m Good,” came out of his manager sending him back to the drawing board after he’d written 100 songs for an album without finding a hit.We also explore the music that shaped him, from growing up in a house with parents who wrote children’s music and listened to Paul Simon and Billy Joel, to the pivotal moment when he discovered John Mayer and Lauryn Hill in the same week. We also talk about his fascination with Louis Prima and the magic of an artist who sounds like nobody else.It’s a conversation about persistence, chasing that elusive spark in songwriting, and the realization behind “Who Is Saving Who?” that sometimes the people who are saved by your songs are the very people saving you.
