Since permanently leaving his corporate environmental engineering career in 1996, award-winning folk and Americana artist Andrew McKnight's musical journey has traced nearly a million miles of blue highways, and earned a wealth of critical acclaim and enthusiastic fans for his captivating performances and nine albums. The singer/songwriter's new album and book "Treasures in My Chest" introduces a dynamic cast of spellbinding songs and stories, drawn from seven years of incredible discoveries and connections made exploring his family history. The book turns his experiences as a researcher into a usable toolset for family historians. With three guitars, a dobro, Native American flute and an African hand drum, he brings the stage to life with intimate detail and vibrant lyricism, delivered with warm humor and down-home comfort. In addition to his solo tours, he works with founding Nitty Gritty Dirt Band member Les Thompson fronting their genre-bending quartet Beyond Borders.
