Tony Denikos & Andrew McKnight *CANCELED*
Modern Americana with deep roots; Tony Denikios’ music is witty, cutting, purposeful & reflective. His authentic voice will drive the stories straight to your heart. “Tony Denikos' songwriting is filled with emotion & romanticism, moving from social commentary to small portraits of American life.... A good example of modern Americana & songwriting of noble birth.”~ Fabio Cerbone, Italy. “..like a sponge Tony absorbs all the (Americana) influences & then wrings out something entirely his own” ~ Benny Metten. Belgium. Some of Tony's earliest memories are of riding along the country roads of central Maryland, singing songs like -- "Jack O' Diamonds" by Tex Ritter, "Born to Lose" by Ray Charles, "Caldonia" by Louis Jordan & "Pendulum Swings" by Roger Miller. Tony has been performing & recording his original brand of folk americana since 1999. The Washington Post reviewed it calling Tony a, "Tunesmith in the best sense of the word."
Award-winning folk/Americana artist Andrew McKnight's musical journey has traced nearly a million miles of blue highways earned him a wealth of critical acclaim & enthusiastic fans for his captivating performances. "With a voice reminiscent of Don McLean, McKnight traverses from old-time Appalachian tunes to contemporary folk & blues, all backed up by his dead-on guitar playing" ~The Boston Globe. Andrew's solo performances are powerful & entertaining one-man theater, delivered with warmth & down-home comfort. He weaves his finely-crafted songs & nimble flatpicking together with humorous stories & poetic drama, while the musical soundscape traverses influences from Appalachia, spooky slide & jazzy blues, feisty anthems & rustic folk. 2020 finds McKnight bringing a dynamic new element to his show, adding a cast of spellbinding songs & stories drawn from his own recent journeys into family history. Accompanied by three guitars, a dobro, Native American flute & an African hand drum (some with their own remarkable stories), the stage comes alive with intimate detail & vibrant lyricism. "Stretching across the landscape of American folk music is a highway paved by Guthrie & Dylan... now Virginia native Andrew McKnight takes his turn smoothing down the blacktop" ~Performing Songwriter.
