A music memoir for devoted fans of indie musician Andrew McMahon and readers seeking an unforgettable story about love, family, hope, healing, and the power of connection.

Three Pianos is a searingly honest and beautifully written memoir about the challenges and triumphs of Andrew McMahon’s life and career, as seen through the lens of his personal connection to three pianos.

McMahon grew up in 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 connect emotionally with audiences. He went on to become the lead singer and songwriter for rock bands Something Corporate and Jack's Mannequin, and a successful solo artist following the release of his 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. 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 Dear Jack, McMahon explores his journey in lyrical prose that mirrors the heartfelt lyrics his fans respond to so deeply.

Overcoming those odds, McMahon found solace and hope in the things that matter most, including family, the healing power of music, and the one instrument he's always turned to: his piano. Three Pianos takes readers on a beautifully rendered and bittersweet American journey filled with inspiration, heartbreak, and an unwavering commitment to shedding our past in order to create a better future.
