Hey guys! So I've just finished up recording my
new album, Joyland, and it should be going off to mastering this week.
I also just wrapped up shooting some video that we plan to include with
the CD. It'll have some notes about the songs and recording process as
well as some general interview bits. On this album I've branched out a
bit and included some instrumentation on a couple of songs. There's
also a new harpguitar tune and a couple of covers including another one
of my favorite 80's tunes. It should be be available in February!
Concert dates – Hello 2010 touring calendar! Posting dates today as a matter of fact.
I will support Joyland with a ton of
touring! I am starting in the US, going to the UK, then to Europe and
back to the US. It is my plan to play as many different cities and
countries in the world as I can in the next 2 years (wow, did I just
say that??? EXCELLENT!) So, if you don’t see your country listed (or
your city for that matter) please be patient and keep watching for
dates. I am expecting to go to Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, and South America. I'll keep you posted!
I can’t wait to see you all and share my new music with you.
Cheers and Saludos!
Andy
Thanks, Everybody!

Hi everybody!
Just got back from the International Guitar Festival in Uppsala,
Sweden. I had a crazy good time there at the clinic and the show!
National TV and press were awesome but the fans were absolutely
unbelievable, thanks for such a warm welcome and for hanging out after
the show. Nice to meet y'all!
I really enjoyed the group Inti-Illimani Historico, an phenomenal
band from Chile. They played with the noted classical guitarist John
Williams. They KICKED OUT THE F'ING JAMS! Their lead song writer,
Horatio Salinas is the real meal freaking deal. Check 'em out as soon
as you can because they are really good.

Got some love last week from CNN - Headlines
news with Robin Meade .. thanks to all who wrote and twittered about
this..its just awesome!! Check on this link...
The
Andy McKee Youtube channel has been great and frustrating
simultaneously. A lot of international fans can see a bunch of the new
stuff, while many others can't. These markets are being checked into as
we speak. This has been a multi-week process and your patience is
greatly appreciated. I've been using facebook for status checks so
thanks to everyone around the world for helping me figure out what
countries area able to see it and which ones aren't. Your support means
everything to me and I remain committed to making sure that everyone
who wants to the new vids can see them. Next year when I start touring
again, I want to start posting a bunch of new stuff that is not
necessarily just my music videos. It may be your takes on my songs or
just video highlights of the everyday world as I encounter it.
Portugal is on the horizon! I just confirmed the venue in
Fafe, PT for Nov 12 so if you can make it please look to see if this
city is the right place for you. The venue looks great from what I
have seen online. For those folks wanting to catch a live show, these
will be my last dates until I start my tour next year to support the
new record. On that front, I am still hoping for a February release
date for the new record... of course, I will send updates on that as it
gets closer.
Time to get back to the olde geetar and write some tunes. See you all very soon.
Andy
