For you lovely new BlueSky followers, please forgive me if I'm slow on the follow back. If I know you, I'm happy to do so, but sometimes it's hard to tell from your handle (by all means, please pipe up if I do and I'll gladly follow back). Practicing #kindness here, like I do everywhere else.
If you follow me on Spotify, I'm grateful that you did, and in case you want to know why my music will be leaving the platform at the end of November... andrewmcknight.net/news/blog/76...

Tomorrow is September 11th, and has been my personal custom for many years now, I will be quiet on social media. In these insane times we're living in, those reasons feel ever more poignant now....

If you need a break, come out to the nearby mts of eastern WV. #CaponBridge is 4 miles over the state line, just 25 minutes from #WinchesterVA. Would do us all some good to be together in community & connection, right? Let's sing, let's raise a glass, share a hug, & be human together. #musicheals

There's snow on the ground, a bite in the wind, and all of the warm clothes are out of storage, but it will be warm and cozy here in the "Make-a-Living Room" Thursday night. It goes down at 8pm EST at youtube.com/live/AD5NL5O...

For my blue friends & followers here, I wrote this in 2007, but it feels even more timely now. I hope singing along with the chorus helps gets some of those courage and resilience neurochemicals going for you. These are the times we're living in. andrewmcknight.bandcamp.com/track/times-...

Ahhhh, back in the office with 2 of my 3 bandies today 😉 We'll update the blog shortly; a great day aside from getting stuck on the studio access road! Video rolled too, but I don't know how many of the belly laugh moments got caught on film. Follow our progress andrewmcknight.net/beyond-borde...

Taking advantage of our first snowy winter in three years, and while admiring the sunset glow the other night, the Wolf Moon said "hey, look at me!".

Wherever you are, however you spend this day, whatever you hold close at this season of the year, may your flame burn bright and warm, and may you know the comfort and joy of being loved, for you most certainly are.
Merry Christmas to you ❤ 🎄✨

My "office" yesterday for my two Winter Holiday Livestream shows. It really did snow during the whole afternoon show, and here's the proof. I didn't actually play the #resonatorguitar yesterday, but the #Martin, #Lowden & #Fairbuilt were busy!

I'm flattered & grateful for a wave of followers from the #leadwithkindness side of the great divide. I'm no lawyer or activist, but I try to "fill the well" for all working for #democracy. Wish this song wasn't more timely than when I wrote it in '06. andrewmcknight.bandcamp.com/track/times-...

My 2024 audiences have heard about the murder victim buried 50 years in the cemetery behind my house, exhumed last fall with hopes of identifying her. Sadly, #DNA hasn't yet solved the case. I remain ever hopeful that her name is not lost to history & her family. andrewmcknight.net/blog/blog/74...

Pretty thrilled that tonight is our kick-off session for our long-awaited Andrew McKnight & Beyond Borders #recording project. All these years we've written songs together & done them at shows - over an album's worth! - and tonight we lay out the map at our #CabinStudios. #singersongwriter

A tribute to my ancestors, living in low light with not a lot to be hopeful about, yet finding joy & spark in the holiday season. I've sung it with people from the stage, in churches & in glorious harmony around the tree at our holiday party. To you, "A Dram to the Holidays" youtu.be/4zjap3Jzw7w

Those who've known my work as a folkish #singer/songwriter the past 3 decades might be surprised - or not! - that I have a secret past as a #hardrock #guitarist ;) Restored, remixed & released during the pandemic; try a kickstart to your day streaming at noreasterrocks.bandcamp.com/album/calm-b...

Very happy 2025's calendar is filling in places I'm thrilled to be going; some solo, some w/ Beyond Borders. Among my holiday leftovers; gratitude to everyone who got dressed, drove & spent a couple hours w/me IRL last month. I am mighty thankful for all the blessings in this crazy musical life. 💝

I remember when this came out, and I still think it's a cool little decoration for my Thanksgiving. Can't help but grin, and it's fine fiddle music too 😉

It isn't booking shows & tours that keep roof overhead, but I sure have been playing #guitar a lot lately. My phone is filling up with creative fragments; I need to craft them into something soon. Right now, it just brings #joy. (My fave is whichever one I'm playing!) Photo by Christi Porter.
