Andy McKee To Return To Perform In The US After A Sold-Out European Tour

THE SOCIAL NETWORKING EXPLOSION HAS HELPED MCKEE IMPACT SALES AND TOURING
After a whirlwind stint in Europe, Andy McKee will return to the United States kicking off his tour on May 21st in California in support of his new album Joyland which was released in March on Razor & Tie. Joyland is another innovative release from Andy, packaged with a special bonus DVD featuring performances and a documentary about the acoustic guitarist.

McKee did a short stint in the US before heading to Europe, including a celebrated performance at New York City's Highline Ballroom. During his sold-out European tour, Andy McKee sold out several dates including a critically acclaimed show at Colston Hall in Bristol, UK. Armed with just his guitar, McKee is a pro at capturing an audience's attention with his entrancing songs and technical prowess. After taking Europe by storm, McKee is looking forward to returning home and engaging his fans in the US the same way he was able to while overseas.

Andy McKee is the definition of a social networking explosion, with one of the largest dedicated online fan bases. His YouTube channel has had over 78 million views, and his Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter accounts are also steadily growing. His online success has made an impact in both album and ticket sales, in both the US and internationally. Joyland is Andy McKee's first full length album released via Razor & Tie, a follow up to 2009's acclaimed Common Ground EP. A specially packaged edition of Joyland exclusive to Guitar Center stores will be available for sale soon.
