AM

by Kenyon Hopkin
Singer/songwriter AM grew up in Tulsa, OK, and in the suburbs of New Orleans before he began writing songs in college. He relocated to Los Angeles, and after he played the South by Southwest Festival, Defend Music took interest and added him to their roster. In July 2006 the label released Troubled Times, a reissue of AM's eponymous debut CD from the previous year; the album includes tracks that made their way into several films and network and cable television shows. AM has shared the stage with Rhett Miller, G. Love & Special Sauce, Bob Mould, and Glenn Tilbrook
