When we reflect on the magic of the live music experience, what comes to mind, or to the ear as it were, are the images of those grandiose and infamous stages, like Red Rocks or Madison Square Garden, filled with a sea of people, in awe of face-melting shred fests and transcendental sonic exercises. For Colorado, these dynamics have become the expectation, and for good reason.

Led by acoustic guitarist and singer songwriter Andrew McConathy—known for his compelling songwriting and distinct, expressive vocals—Drunken Hearts independently released their new single, “Sunlight (feat. Big Richard)” July 29 on all platforms. They also created a music video of the song with stunning surrealist animation, which can be viewed here → https://youtu.be/-qgHfV49Dp4.

Led by acoustic guitarist and powerhouse lead singer Andrew McConathy—known for his compelling songwriting and distinct, deep, and expressive vocals—Drunken Hearts independently release their new single, “Sunlight (feat. Big Richard)” July 29 on all platforms.

‘Brave & Free’ is a deeply personal album centered around themes of Loss, Mortality and the Unknown–universal experiences that will resonate with audiences from all walks of life. Touching on musical genres that Ace Engfer has explored with past and current projects (including Grant Farm, Kind Hearted Strangers and The Drunken Hearts) ‘Brave & Free’ is a journey into American Music (Americana) that will captivate and intrigue the most discerning ear.

We are thrilled to announce that the Drunken Hearts + Buffalo Commons show, originally at the Fox Theatre on February 4th, has been moved to Boulder Theater for a Marshall Fire Benefit show! We’re excited to welcome many local Colorado musicians to our stage for an evening of music + fundraising. There will be a Silent Auction with donations from WinterWonderGrass, Yarmony, Elephant Revival, The String Cheese Incident, Yonder Mountain String Band, Leftover Salmon, Greensky Bluegrass, Kitchen Dwellers, Infamous Stringdusters, Railroad Earth, Lil Smokies, and more.

In the Fall of 2019 Andrew McConathy & his band of Drunken Hearts embarked on a 20 show, cross-country album release tour that spanned more than 15,000 miles from Portland, OR to Portland, ME, and everywhere in between. Six men, six plane flights, 3 tow trucks, two vans, two winter storms, one bad transmission, one flatbed U-Haul truck, one SUV, and one trailer resulted in… ONE LIVE ALBUM.

The Drunken Hearts released a new music video today of their original song “Fire in a House,” exclusively premiered by American Songwriter Magazine. Watch it HERE.

American Songwriter writes, “The five-man band from the Boulder/Denver area of Colorado carry a mountain spirit into its music and mix it with a 90s rock blend, that is eerily reminiscent of Pearl Jam — due in large part to the vocals of Andrew McConathy.” 

The Drunken Hearts release Wheels of the City October 18 on LoHi Records. Produced by Tim Carbone (Railroad Earth), the album was recorded at Silo Sound Studios in Denver, Colorado, and mastered by Jim Wilson. On Wheels of the City, The Drunken Hearts deliver tales of adventure, love, risk, and realization.
