Acoustic Live! is Something Worth Standing For

We're pleased to see that Andrew got a nice mention in the online publication Acoustic Live! review of artists and CDs they took in at the recent Northeast Regional Folk Alliance conference. The quote, about Andrew's Something Worth Standing For CD:

Andrew McKnight is a crackerjack folk-rocker. Here he corrals a cornucopia of amplified/miked stringed instruments and uses them to dexterously rage against the miasma of hypocrisy that surrounds us. The first track “Times We’re Living In,” exemplifies the tenor of the entire album as he sings, "Is this what it comes to, power and preference / executive privilege / for or against us / wrapped in the flag, discredit dissenters as they tear down all we hold dear…" His edgy baritone blisters the lazy off our plodding acceptance of the status quo. The tempo slows down toward the end of the album as Andrew ponders the inevitability of change in the landscapes of our childhood. In “Cedars,” he sings "This was home when this was a different place".
