Andrew Scott Denlinger Band
March 21
10PM
Get Details

Andrew Scott Denlinger has been a part of the Chicago music scene for quite a while. His brand of American rock n’ roll is as diverse as the city he calls home. His fifth single, Draped In Fashion “is all about young love,” says Andrew. “It’s about the chase, the unknowns and the excitement of the moment.” Sonically, Draped In Fashion pulls from a mix of classic tones and modern influence. It’s fresh, with hints of nostalgia.

Andrew fills his cover shows with American Rock songs that meant something to him and probably mean something to you too! “There’s something special about sharing a moment with people–singing, dancing, and playing along with some of the history’s BEST rock jams!” You’ll hear songs from the greats like Bob Seger, Tom Petty, ZZ Top, and Stevie Ray Vaughan,  to todays stars like Chris Stapleton, Brothers Osbourne, Foo Fighters, Jimmy Eat World and so much more.

Before the release his current solo-project, Andrew toured the nation as bassist for Chicago country-artist Nick Lynch, playing and performing for thousands across the nation. Together they rocked over 1,000 shows in honky-tonks, clubs, festivals, on ABC Chicago’s Windy City Live, and with a bunch of Country Music’s greatest acts.

Andrew Scott’s new music captures the essence of America, incorporating bluesy leads, guitar driven tunes, and heartfelt lyrics that leave a lasting impression on the listener. Lyrics stretch between heartache and love, from struggle to life.

Andrew Scott Denlinger continues to share his music and moments with the world, writing and recording songs while playing a steady schedule of festivals, bars, campgrounds and more throughout the Midwest. His songs have been streamed over 400,000 times, with more music on the horizon.

When asked how he would describe his sound, Andrew says this:

“[It’s] a musical representation of the world. …a sonic blending of our humanity and who we are. [My new music explores] the influences in my life: rock, blues, country, grunge, pop, and r&b and I try to see how they work together… that sounds pretty American to me!”
