If You Hate Your Radio and the CDs at WalMart....
Since permanently leaving his corporate environmental engineering career in 1996, singer, writer and guitarist Andrew McKnight's musical journey has traced over a quarter million miles of blue highways and small towns across the country, crafting his cinematic vignettes of Americans and their landscapes in music, poetry and prose in between 125 performances each year and on four critically acclaimed CDs for the independent Falling Mountain Music record label.
Andrew's latest CD Beyond Borders was a Finalist for the Independent Music Awards' 2005 Americana Album of the Year as well as a Nominee for the Washington Area Music Awards Best Contemporary Folk Recording. Beyond Borders includes his song "Good Things Matter", the winner of the Great American Song Contest (Acoustic/Folk category).
Wherever Andrew takes the stage, audiences are at once spellbound and relaxed by his 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!" Andrew's insightful lyrics, vocal richness and bluesy guitar licks have become distinctive trademarks. He has shared those attributes in a wide variety of performance settings, including the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, the Kennedy Center and the National Theatre in DC, Appalshop Theatre, Mountain Stage NewSong Festival, Chattanooga Riverbend Festival and Baltimore's Artscape Festival.
When not on the road, Andrew teaches several guitar students in northwestern Virginia and does small acoustic recording projects for clients at his Mountain Song Studio. As part of his touring and performing schedule he also leads workshops on songwriting, guitar technique, various aspects of the acoustic music industry, and environmental issues.
