Music is kind of the way that helps me to articulate, because I know the opposite of it is to just feel stuck and feel this horrible fear and burden and you don't know what it is
Ever wondered how music can mend a broken soul? John McAndrew, a national recording artist and songwriter, joins Mary Woods in this heartfelt episode of 'One Hour AT A Time' to share his incredible journey through addiction, mental illness, and the redemptive power of music.
