Andrew Sa's American Rough Album

Andrew Sa’s debut album “American Rough” drops this Friday, blending Chicago grit with classic country soul to explore love, longing, and rugged masculinity. With a voice that’s tender, bold, and playful, Sa weaves street scenes from Halsted with late-night country dreams, backed by a fusion of folk, jazz, blues, and indie sounds. Recorded in Chicago and North Carolina, the album features collaborations that reflect his musical roots and evolution—from childhood country tunes with grandparents to a queer awakening after opening for Lavender Country in 2018. Co-hosting the Cosmic Country Showcase, Sa embraced his magnetic stage presence and western flair, proving country music is a universal language for raw emotion. H.C. McEntire calls his vocals timeless, with “legs” and deep feeling—comparing him to Roy Orbison, Angel Olsen, and k.d. lang. This is country that’s both tough and tender, a call to feel more, be more, and connect deeper. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
