===Friendship House Concerts is proud to present Andrew McKnight Sunday, May 17, 2009 ===
4:00 PM
The award-winning singer/songwriter, guitarist and poet from
Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, Andrew McKnight’s musical journey has
traced nearly half a million miles of blue highways and small towns
since permanently leaving his corporate environmental engineering
career in 1996. Those hard travels have earned him a wealth of
critical acclaim and enthusiastic fan response for his 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.
His songwriting also encompasses his passion for community and causes
such as preserving American landscapes and heritage, like the haunting
Civil War ballad “The Road to Appomattox” and “Company Town”, which
opens the acclaimed CD Moving Mountains: Voices of Appalachia Rise Up
Against Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining.
