  • Hamilton Rocker Andrew Irving Releases Heartfelt Tribute “Hometown Heroes” Honouring First Responders

Andrew Irving, the multi-faceted singer and songwriter from Hamilton, Ontario, has announced the release of his newest single “Hometown Heroes”.

Inspired by two of his lifelong friends, a firefighter, and a police officer, Hometown Heroes honours the courage and dedication of first responders who work tirelessly to make our world a safer place. This touching song spotlights the many everyday heroes whose selfless actions and unwavering commitment improve the quality of life in our communities.

“Movies and TV shows have taught us to admire superheroes”, Irving explains. “But we don't often enough think about the heroes that surround us in our day-to-day lives, in our cities and our hometowns."

When Irving and his longtime collaborator, Mike McCormick, first experimented with a new chord structure and ambient guitar riff, they realized they had created something exceptional. This uniquely epic sound called for an equally epic theme.

“And the result of this collaboration was Hometown Heroes”, Irving proudly proclaims. “It’s a song that not only celebrates first responders but also encourages everyday acts of love and kindness.”

Irving’s latest single stands as the anthem for his forthcoming tour across Canada, dedicated to honouring and expressing gratitude to first responders. This concert series will serve as a platform for uplifting and acknowledging the individuals who selflessly safeguard our communities. Irving will commence the tour in his hometown of Hamilton with a performance at The Anchor Bar on July 27th, followed by a second concert in Brantford, Ontario on August 24th.

For over two decades, Irving has passionately advocated for his community through music, addressing issues of mental health and addiction. Four years sober, his journey deeply influences his music, specifically in the powerful song "Scars." Irving’s career spans across Canada, Europe, and the U.S., with notable collaborations and performances alongside major acts like The Watchmen, Our Lady Peace, and I Mother Earth.
