Andy McKee is a world-renowned guitarist from Kansas, best known for his original compositions for steel-string acoustic guitar. After discovering the music of modern fingerstyle players like Michael Hedges, Preston Reed, and Don Ross as a teenager, McKee turned away from the electric guitar and devoted himself to exploring the possibilities of the acoustic, using altered tunings, tapping, partial capos, and percussive techniques to transform a single instrument into a full orchestra. In 2006, his original composition "Drifting" became one of the first viral videos on YouTube, and several other pieces including "Rylynn," "For My Father," and "Into the Ocean" soon followed. To date, his videos have accumulated hundreds of millions of views and inspired a new generation of fingerstyle guitarists worldwide. Artists like John Petrucci, Prince, Eric Johnson, Steve Lukather, and David Foster have recognized his talent, recording or touring with him over the years. Beyond performing in over 40 countries as a soloist, McKee founded the Musicarium in 2015, a premier fingerstyle guitar camp that has featured guest instructors including Tommy Emmanuel, Eric Johnson, Stanley Jordan, and Don Ross. In 2024 he joined forces with Trevor Gordon Hall and Calum Graham to release tripliciti, an acclaimed acoustic guitar trio project. 2025 brings a new solo guitar album and a 20th anniversary re-recording of Art of Motion.
