Songwriter and Vocalist Andrew Sa has earned the title of Chicago’s premiere queer country crooner. Sa’s career has always been rooted in songwriting that highlights his easy and elegant voice, but when he met mentor and pioneer Patrick Hagerty of Lavender Country, his “Lonesome Andrew” persona was born. Diving headfirst into the catalogs of Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison, and other classic songwriters that defined his adolescence as the child of a Karaoke Jockey, Sa easily slipped into this new but familiar persona. It wasn’t long before all of Chicago was seeking out his voice.

Sa quickly became the star of the touring revue Cosmic Country Showcase​, an instant smash hit camp-country revue based out of Chicago. The city provided two important collaborators for Andrew, One of those was Kelly Hogan (Mavis Staples, Neko Case). Hogan instantly recognized Sa’s abilities and quickly the two were booking gigs across the city as a duo. The young and talented Liam Kazar (Jeff Tweedy, Sam Evian, Kevin Morby) also recruited Sa for a duet on his debut album Due North. Sa also created a stunning film, Andrew in Anotherland, which was a celebration of Chicago’s many voices that accompanied a live revue at the prestigious public amphitheater Millennium Park.

In 2026 Andrew Sa will be welcoming new debut solo album.
