Andy McKee is one of the world’s finest acoustic guitarists and it’s evident from the accolades he’s received throughout his career. It’s his youthful energy, attention to song structure and melodic content that elevates him above the rest. It has been nearly fifteen years since Andy McKee’s video for “Drifting” turned the former guitar teacher from Topeka, Kansas, into one of YouTube’s first viral music stars. Millions of views and a spate of critically acclaimed albums followed, but it’s McKee’s ability as a live performer—one who can pull orchestral sound out of a single guitar—that has kept him on the road almost constantly. Joining him for his first ever Bakersfield appearance is Canadian guitarist, Calum Graham.
