Andrew Leahey & The Homestead’s Summer Sleeves is the sound of the modern South: its cities, its open spaces, and everywhere in between. The Nashville-based Leahey recorded the songs with the Homestead, a group of childhood friends and Virginia-based musicians who added organ, harmonized guitar riffs, pedal steel, and three-part harmonies to the mix.
