Andrew Leahey joined the All Music Guide ranks in 2007, following a notsolucrative stint as a music journalist in New York City. His writing has appeared in SPIN, Radar, and CMJ New Music Monthly, where he also serves as Senior Book Critic. A musician as well as a writer, Andrew fronted the critically overlooked (and woefully underbooked) rock quintet Hobson's Choice while attending the University of Virginia, and later obtained some semblance of conservatory cred by joining the symphonic chorus at the Juilliard School. Nevertheless, he prefers Sebastian Bach to Johann, although he admits the latter has certainly aged better.
