From beloved indie musician Andrew McMahon comes a searingly honest and beautifully written memoir about the challenges and triumphs of his life and career, as seen through the lens of his personal connection to three pianos. Andrew McMahon grew up in sunny Southern California as a child prodigy, learning to play piano and write songs at a very early age, stunning schoolmates and teachers alike with his gift for performing and his unique ability to emotionally connect with audiences. McMahon would go on to become the lead singer and songwriter for Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin, and to release his debut solo album, Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness, in 2014. But behind this seemingly optimistic and quintessentially American story of big dreams come true lies a backdrop of overwhelming challenges that McMahon has facedâ??from a childhood defined by his father's struggle with addiction to his very public battle with leukemia in 2005 at the age of twenty-three, as chronicled in the intensely personal documentary -- Three Pianos takes readers on a beautifully rendered and bitter-sweet American journey, one filled with inspiration, heartbreak, and an unwavering commitment to shedding our past in order to create a better futu… (meer)

Three Pianos by Andrew McMahon is a moving memoir that will appeal to readers regardless of their opinion of McMahon's music.

Many celebrity memoirs appeal mostly to those already familiar with, and a fan of, that celebrity. This memoir will be loved by those readers but will also be a powerful story for those like me who neither like nor dislike his music. Or perhaps more accurately I am moved by some of his music and uninterested in some of it. This memoir, however, presents the person and that person is quite interesting and articulate.

In addition to fans, I would also recommend this to readers who enjoy memoirs in general, especially of people who strive to overcome obstacles and maintain some semblance of the person they want to be. McMahon succeeds in drawing us into his life and as a reader you will become invested in it.

Reviewed from a copy made available by the publisher via NetGalley. ( )
