Singer/songwriter and storyteller Andy Gruhin has announced his debut album Hannah, which will be released on September 18th, 2026. Along with the news, he has released a new single and music video for “Bobby” featuring Alejandro Aranda, an ode to his first-born son.
Following the aftermath of losing his wife six months after they had their first child, Gruhin wrote Hannah to process his grief. Rather than write songs about who she was, he decided to write songs about what happened after her passing.
“Bobby” explores the “fragile, overwhelming love of fatherhood.”
Gruhin shares:
I wrote ‘Bobby’ for my son because he’ll never get the chance to really know his biological mom. I can’t change that, but I hope this song gives him a small piece of her. I want him to grow up knowing that she loved him more than anything, and that love doesn’t end just because someone is gone. I hope if he listens to it years from now, he knows he’ll always have her love, and he’ll always have mine.

Combining classic songwriting and modern Emo sounds, the new record has ten tracks, including a feature from Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie.
