Aliyah Good was born in Nashville, TN, raised on the road and on the stage. She started singing at 3 years of age performing with her parents at fairs and festivals across the US. Now 20 years old, Aliyah has been writing her own music for 7 years. Her music infuses sounds of pop-country-alternative-indie.
When I started writing and performing my own songs,” says Aliyah, “it just felt so natural. Writing down my feelings and laying it all out there for the world to hear, it’s scary and thrilling at the same time. There’s just something so satisfying about making that connection with other people going through the same things that I am and saying yeah, we’re not alone in all of this and life can be hard”. In October of 2022, Good released her first song to all streaming platforms and the video debuted on CMT. Aliyah was invited to join the esteemed Song Suffragettes at the Listening Room and plays songwriter shows regularly in Nashville at Ole Red, Tin Roof, True Music Room, and returned to play Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles in June. The highlight of 2020 for Aliyah was playing the famed Bitter End in NYC and this year playing Sofar Sounds shows in Atlanta, and Breaking Miami.
Aliyah returns to Denmark this Sept as part of the Nashville Nights Festival where one critic for daffy.dk magazine said “It is 19-year-old Aliyah Good who takes the fuse on me and apparently the rest of the guests in the tent. She lives up to her last name. In fact, she vocally resembles a young Adele, which makes many American musicians in the tent drop their jaws.”
Good has been featured in a Feed the Children infomercial, an extra in the movie Country Strong, co- hosted a Mother’s Day special with her Mom Jamie O’Neal for GAC and was in the top 5 music video on CMT for Somebody’s Hero which she recorded as a duet with her Mom in 2020. Look for Aliyah’s 7 song EP out this fall.

Andy Griggs often says his influences in music are like a pot of gumbo. Growing up in Monroe, LA, he was raised on Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggert, Waylon, Bill Monroe, hardcore blues, and hardcore rock’n roll, sprinkled with a touch of jazz. He often says, “there is no defining a style of song. As long as there’s soul, it has a place in music.” Andy moved to Nashville in 1995 after a childhood life of major mountains and valleys. Music was such a huge inspiration in his young life that it helped him grieve. And he did plenty of that. His father, the praise and worship leader at their church, died from a brain tumor when Andy was 11 years old. His brother Mason, his only sibling took the baton of music and ran with it. Throughout their teenage years, Mason was Andy’s hero. Mason died at the early age of 21 from heart complications that he had had since birth. Andy grabbed that same baton and he quotes, “when I jumped into the pool of music, I jumped into the deep end and never came out.”
After several years of playing in the blue grass band, ‘Jerry and Tammy Sullivan’ Andy found himself a record deal with RCA and exploded with his first single “You Won’t Ever Be Lonely.” After two #1’s, five top 5’s and 4 other top 10’s, Andy came to a musical crossroad in his life…there was something missing. Feeling that his music was only reaching 99% of his capability of releasing his heart and soul, his life was not complete. “My childhood was a rollercoaster ride and so has been my profession as a singer. I’m at that point in my life, where I either want to make a difference with a song and a worn out guitar or I need to find something else to do. I’ve learned that you don’t come to this town and TRY to fit a certain mold. You don’t TRY to fit a certain style. You don’t TRY to sing your heart out. You either DO or you DON’T.” This awakening in Andy’s restless being caused him to start writing most of his songs and producing his own music. “Heck, I don’t know how to produce, I just know what I hear and feel. That’s what I want and that’s what I have to have.” As you listen, to the songs that come out of his voice now, you will realize that he is finally complete and one with his music. Ladies and gentleman, please make welcome to the stage the new, improved, and REAL Andy Griggs.
