Additional Info:
Doors @ 7pm | Show @ 8pmAndy 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. After nearly a decade without releasing new studio recordings, McKee returns with his six-track EP, Symbol, out Friday, September 17 on Mythmaker Records in conjunction with Cruzen Street Records."These are my interpretations of tunes that really inspired me," says McKee. "I wanted to give listeners a chance to hear what I hear when I listen to this music. I also wanted to branch out a bit and include music that isn't originally for acoustic guitar."While Symbol is a collection of inspired renditions, they are important song choices-artists that deeply influence McKee and songs that connect to his musical past. He pulls from the catalogues of greats like Michael Hedges, Preston Reed, Billy McLaughlin, and Prince. There's "Ragamuffin," the EP's lead single, which is a nod to one of McKee's biggest influences, Michael Hedges.McKee notes that "Michael was not only a revolutionary guitarist on the technical side, his ability to compose for solo guitar was also genius. Most importantly though, he was able to search inside of himself and consistently pull up very human and evocative themes that made him a true artist. I'll always be grateful for his music."One track that might catch fans by surprise on Symbol is McKee's gorgeous rendition of Prince's "Purple Rain." In 2012, McKee played alongside Prince in his band on the "Welcome 2 Australia" tour, with the song being one of the setlist highlights.Notes on Seating: The Jack London provides two options for ticket purchasers.Reserved Seatingis purchased on a table-by-table basis in the central part of the venue and is only available for select shows.
