Special Concert performance by Andrew McKnight & BEYOND BORDERS.
“Beyond Appalachian, beyond blues, beyond folk, beyond borders” - the sweet vocal blend, eclectic arrangements and tight delivery of Andrew McKnight & Beyond Borders earned enthusiastic responses at the Kennedy Center, Black Rock Center for the Arts and the inaugural Mountain Aid concert as well as a sellout here at the Belfry last year. The environmental-engineer-turned nationally touring artist¹s masterfully crafted songs and stories are heartfelt and intelligent, touching on themes from history, environmental issues, and rural American life. Original Nitty Gritty Dirt Band member Les Thompson, Stephanie Thompson and Lisa Taylor blend Andrew¹s charming tenor voice and acoustic and electric guitars with upright bass, drums, banjo, and percussion to create “a vast expanse of song and sound”. http://www.andrewmcknight.net/theband
