This man is a true talent... And down to earth kind of guy...

I had the pleasure of meeting him, a few years ago, at a small theater in Newton, NJ.
My wife and I waited to be last in line in hopes of getting a chance to talk with him more in-depth.
I’ve never met a more humble yet personable person in my life! Funny and down to earth. He was of the rare breed that is eager to help, instruct or just plain... Listen
Our lives are richer for having met him!!!

I had enough chance to see and hear Andy McKee in France few weeks ago... it was increbible ! Great person and artist

I've made the switch to the aluminum bronze and I'm sold. Sustain for days, warm and punchy lows, articulate bell like highs, and never ending nuances that bring the guitar alive. Especially great for fingerpicking or contemporary styles.

My friend introduce me to him with a song called Rylynn. That record was blown my mind away. Then I just noticed the video, that he play with a harp guitar (before I didn't know what on earth is that guitar), I was like: "Wow!"

Andy made a huge impact on me and showed me this other world of acoustic guitar. I remember walking around college campus listening to art of motion on repeat!! love the dude

[inhumandestroyer]

[SimonMooreChannel]

Awesome.. great choice to represent your brand - Mr.Mckee just does magic with the instrument in such an organic way.. I'll definitely check those Aluminum Bronze!

[AkiraSpectrum]
