Concert preview » Andrew Wiscombe, who will perform in Holladay, says war profoundly affected his views about the world.

After dedicating seven years of his life to the Army, Utah singer-songwriter Andrew Wiscombe found himself struggling to readjust to life outside the military. He had spent his service as a sniper, and when he returned home to Utah, he found that his mind was constantly on "overdrive."

"I had a lot of unresolved emotions," he said. "It's hard to reintegrate and feel like I am a part of society."

The Spanish Fork native concluded his military service in 2010, but it was not until six months ago that he left a job requiring up to 120 hours a week to pursue music — and find an emotional release.
