Singer/songwriter, guitarist, poet and Falling Mountain recording artist Andrew McKnight brings his engaging collection of songs and stories celebrating the American landscape and people to stages all across America. 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 and small towns. Those hard travels have earned him a wealth of critical acclaim and enthusiastic fan response for his five CDs and captivating performances 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!" While McKnight wears many hats - songwriter, musician, poet, writer, and community and environmental activist among them, it is his music and messages that are most captivating, infused with his literate prose and soundscapes ranging across haunting blues, feisty anthems, rustic folk, and a bit of swing.

"With a voice reminiscent of Don McLean, McKnight traverses from old-time Appalachian tunes to contemporary folk and blues, all backed up by his dead-on guitar playing" - The Boston Globe

"..one of a kind. Full of great positive energy, Andrew took the stage and immediately had the crowd riveted with his a cappella intro to "How High the Mountain"...." - Barn Concerts, Gilroy CA

"Relating story after story and song after song, often combining his interest in geography, history and a keen eye for the human spirit, Andrew presented a night overflowing with fantastic original material which could only be rated with Blue Ribbons, 5-Stars and a couple of thumbs up."
- Tidewater Friends of Folk Music, Norfolk VA

"blends wry and romantic stories with keen tuneful observations in a delicious mix of folk, blues and bluegrass... a man not to be missed!"
- The National Theatre, Washington DC
