Andy McKee is one of the world’s finest acoustic soloists. After receiving over 20 million views collectively for his Youtube videos which were posted by the independent record label ‘Candyrat’,  Andy’s success is a testament to the changing nature of the music industry as well as people’s desire for something new and interesting to listen to. At one point, Andy held the #1, #2 and #3 positions for Top-Rated Videos of All Time on the hugely popular website. His videos are still among the highest rated on Youtube. Consequently, Andy has performed to sold out shows in all over the world.

“This phenomenally adept fingerstylist from Kansas has gone from underground player to Youtube sensation.  Meet your new favourite acoustic guitarist.”

“If you haven’t already been sent the links by a chastened guitar playing friend, type Andy’s name in, watch and weep.  McKee’s technical ability – he slaps the guitar body, picks fluidly, taps the fretboard, and uses unique tunings and chord voicings – is jaw-dropping, but is matched by an originality and attention to texture, melody, and dynamics that takes him way beyond the merely technical realm.
