Andy McKee
Andy McKee is one of the world’s finest acoustic guitarists; evident from the accolades he’s received throughout his career. It’s his youthful energy, attention to song structure, and melodic content that elevates him to a peerless level. McKee entertains both the eye and the ear as he magically transforms the steel string guitar into a full orchestra via his use of altered tunings, tapping, partial capos, percussive hits, and a signature two-handed fretting technique. McKee’s crossover success has helped him to achieve millions upon millions of YouTube viewers, underscoring his emergence as one of today’s most unique and influential artists. His song “Drifting” became one of the first YouTube viral videos, logging nearly 60 million views. He also curates his own annual guitar retreat called Musicarium. McKee’s tour dates have taken him through Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America, including tours with legendary artists ranging from Dream Theater to Tommy Emmanuel.
