SUMMARY:Neighbour Andy
DESCRIPTION:Alt-rock five-piece Neighbour Andy bring their blend of America
 na\, folk\, and funk to the legendary King Eddy stage on August 28.\n\nAbou
 t Neighbour Andy:\n\nMiddle province’s Neighbour Andy has spent the last 
 few years building a reputation not only as a band\, but as a genuine hot t
 icket. Comprised of Drake Lesperance (vocals)\, Mark Davidson (guitar)\, Ma
 cKenzie Jackson (bass)\, Jordan Alexiuk (drums)\, and Joel d’Eschambault 
 (keys)\, the five friends fuse the rhythmic drive of alt-rock with the narr
 ative heart of Americana\, folk\, and an influence of funk — a sound that
  skips the predictable and lands somewhere that feels necessary.\n\nThe gro
 up first gained local traction in 2022 with the single “71\,” an infect
 ious track born from guitarist Mark’s childhood home that captures the fe
 eling of growing up with your best friends. Their debut self-titled EP came
  that same year\, followed by the band’s debut album release “Wild One�
 �� in 2023\, when they sold out their 500-cap album release show in just ei
 ght minutes.\n\nTheir new psychedelic rock romp “Courtney” debuted at #
 1 New Airplay\, #4 Top Gainer and broke Breaking Alt Charts top 10 in Canad
 a\, plus #2 Top CANCON Download\, #4 Top Indie\, and #9 Overall Download in
  their first-ever week at radio\, thanks to their down-to-earth goofy authe
 nticity evident through relatable storytelling. They’ve toured across Can
 ada\, featured at festivals like Departure\, NXNE\, Festival du Voyageur\, 
 Real Love Fest and more. With more music to come and lots to say\, Neighbou
 r Andy is ramping up\, poised to become a familiar name in the alt-rock cor
 ner of music.\n\nNeighbour Andy’s sophomore album Right By You\, By Every
 one is a sardonic\, introspective soundtrack to the quarter-life crisis\, a
  mirror to the deeply familiar years of our lives: the messy non-linear cli
 mb out of our twenties. It’s a playful yet poetic commentary on the relat
 able journey through self-sabotage\, stagnant ambition\, imposter syndrome\
 , financial anxiety\, and the search for genuine connection amidst lack of 
 life experience to know better.\n\nBringing a banana to a gun fight. Sinkin
 g at a dying start-up. Burning up next to a busted radiator in -30 winter. 
 Drowning in credit card debt. Moving to Yellowknife all for a girl. The amb
 ition is real\, but you end up comparing your life to an actuary ex-girlfri
 end in Barbados or grasping at a fading friendship\, all while confusing so
 cial media stalking for romance. This is an album about inertia\, indecisio
 n\, and great friends — where you’re yelling at traffic only to realize
  you are the traffic.\n\nRight By You\, By Everyone is a clever\, charismat
 ic collision of hope and harsh reality. It spotlights our shared truths as 
 twentysomethings\, whether you are one or were one. But ultimately\, it off
 ers simply yet profound assurance: figuring out the fulfilling way forward 
 is the quiet and powerful realization that real maturity\, wealth\, and wis
 dom is defined by the commitment to care for ourselves and one another.\n\n
