Andrew McKnight
Andrew McKnightFalling Mountain Music recording artist Andrew McKnight is a singer, songwriter, guitarist and poet from near Middleburg, Virginia.

His debut CD Traveler, now in its second pressing, has received critical acclaim and radio airplay nationwide. Featuring his vivid imagery, evocative guitar work, and songs that draw out "the extraordinary details in ordinary things" in people and places from Appalachia to the rural West, Traveler has put Andrew on the map and on the road.

His dynamic and literate style of music, deeply rooted in traditional themes with a contemporary touch and tenor, often invokes comparisons with Americana artists like John Mellencamp, Pierce Pettis, John McCutcheon and Ricky Skaggs. He weaves threads of spirituality, optimism and imagery with a homegrown understanding of rural America into a diverse musical fabric brightly colored by many styles and influences.

The Blue Ridge and Shenandoah Valley he calls home are a common element in his music, but Traveler is an apt title for the musical, historical and geographical journeys the songs take you on. Andrew views his music through a familiar metaphor; "a song or a collection of songs should be like a river, with gentle bends and wild rapids, and it should always end somewhere different from where it started."
