Andrew McKnight

It begins with a dramatic a cappella vocal, followed by a crisp and concise interlude of flatpicked guitar. Then the warm and supple tenor voice settles in to work, delivering literate and cinematic vignettes of rural Americans and their struggles in memorable melodies and compelling twists of phrase. The between-song banter is as much of the show as the music, with humorous anecdotes and a theatrical flair for storytelling weaving the music and words into a memorable performance. Such is a typical Andrew McKnight concert experience.
The award-winning singer/songwriter’s musical journey has traced nearly half a million miles of blue highways and small towns nationwide, and earned him a wealth of critical acclaim and enthusiastic fan response for his five CDs and captivating performances.
Audiences are at once spellbound and relaxed by McKnight's entertaining stories delivered with just the right touches of down home humor, causing one concertgoer to label him “equal parts Robert Frost, William Least Heat-Moon and Jeff Foxworthy!” His seemingly boundless energy moves around, one moment in dancing fingers, the next the impassioned delivery of a poignant lyric, followed by a playful rhythmic foot stomp to keep time; here is a man who clearly loves his work.

Andrew enjoys an artist endorsement with Elixir Strings.
