Featuring Andrew McKnight
Since permanently leaving his corporate environmental engineering career in
1996, the award-winning folk and Americana artist's musical journey has traced
nearly half a million miles of blue highways nationwide, and earned him a wealth
of critical acclaim and enthusiastic fans for his captivating performances and
five indie CDs. Andrew delivers an engaging and energetic show of award-winning
songs, rich high tenor vocals and fine flatpicking, wrapped in amusing anecdotes
and compelling stories.
While he primarily performs solo, Andrew also does festivals and performing arts
series and smaller theatres around the east along with founding Nitty Gritty
Dirt Band member Les Thompson in their acoustic/electric quartet Beyond Borders.
Joined by fellow singer/songwriters Stephanie Thompson and Lisa Taylor, the band
made their collective debut at the Kennedy Center in March 2008. Their eclectic
arrangements of Andrew's songs often fuse old-time and roots rock instruments
with 3 and 4-part vocal harmonies. Andrew and Les co-wrote "Made by Hand" for
the Still Moving Mountains CD (featured on CNN and CMT), and the song is in the
new award-winning documentary "Low Coal" about mountaintop removal.
Andrew and Beyond Borders are part of the prestigious Virginia Commission for
the Arts Touring Artist program alongside the state's best performing artists
like Robin & Linda Williams (of Prairie Home Companion fame), guitar virtuoso
Wayne Henderson and the Virginia Symphony. The band were honored with juried
showcase selections at the 2010 Folk Alliance International conference as well
as the 2011 Southeast (SERFA) and 2009 Northeast (NERFA) Regional Folk Alliance
conferences.
