September 20, 2024 – Today, NYC singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Theo Kandel releases his debut album Eating & Drinking & Being In Love via Nettwerk Music Group. Theo set the stage for the album with previously released singles “On My Mind,” the Frank O’Hara-inspired “Lunch,” nostalgic single “The Painters,” and the recently released “Honeydew Moon.”
Eating & Drinking & Being In Love is a love letter to your 20s and the relationships that shape them. It zeroes in on everyday details and extracts wonder from them. This spirit surges through Theo’s eloquently fashioned folk, amplified by just the right dose of rock energy that is as personal as it is relatable.
"When you’re in love—or in your 20s and trying to live a young, vibrant life with the people you care about—that’s what it is: Eating & Drinking & Being In Love. My favorite moments are sitting around a big table with a bunch of my friends and just having a good time.”
Returning to New York City on a creative sojourn, Theo hunkered down in Grand Street Recording, the former location of the historic Hit Factory, to record Eating & Drinking & Being In Love with producer Jack Kleinick [grentperez, Juliet Ivy, Wingtip]. Four days later, he emerged with the album.
“When I’m writing songs, I need something visceral and tangible to sink my teeth into,” Theo explains. “Eating & Drinking & Being in Love is about time spent with important people in my life, and knowing that even a slice of that can be significant—even if it goes explicitly unsaid.”
This fall, Theo will be hitting the road with labelmate Jordy Searcy, making 14 stops across the US, including Austin, Nashville, New York, Philadelphia, DC, and more. He will also be supporting The Script at the Brooklyn Paramount on September 30. Full list of dates here.

About Theo Kandel: Kandel initially picked up the violin at four years old. He later found his voice through experimentation with different musical genres, blending indie, pop, and electronic music elements while preserving the folk roots evident in his current work. Following a string of "test releases," he made his mark in 2021 with his debut EP, Spin Cycle, earning praise from publications like FLAUNT and Ones To Watch.
Theo continued to evolve his sound, culminating in his 2022 EP, What if it all works out in the end?, featuring standout tracks like "Me & All My Friends Have Got the Blues," reminiscent of folk legends such as Jackson C. Frank and James Taylor. His journey led him to sign with Nettwerk following the release of his stripped-down EP, Somewhere Along the Trail, Vol. 1, with its lead single, "Flight to JFK," amassing over 500k streams to date. Alongside headlining his shows, he supported acts like Evan Honer, ROSIE, and the iconic John Oates. |
