[CITY, STATE] — [DATE] — Four distinctive voices, a watershed moment in American music history, and nearly two decades of creative camaraderie take the stage when Andrew McKnight & Beyond Borders perform at [VENUE] on [DAY, DATE] at [TIME].
From soulful ballads and irresistible grooves to lively instrumentals and unexpected twists on familiar traditions, this northern Virginia quartet takes audiences on a musical journey that reaches well beyond conventional boundaries. Imaginatively crafted songs, exquisite vocal harmonies and a diverse collection of instruments, threaded with engaging stories and good-natured humor, give each performance its own personality. Taking turns singing lead, they move effortlessly between moments of tenderness, exuberance and musical surprise.
Founding Nitty Gritty Dirt Band member Les Thompson helped establish the Dirt Band's identity as they rose to fame with their hit “Mr. Bojangles” and the landmark Will the Circle Be Unbroken recordings. Stepping away from the stage after the Circle album, Thompson focused his talents on the studio, where his prolific work included recording three albums for nationally acclaimed indie singer-songwriter Andrew McKnight. McKnight eventually convinced him to return to performing, and joined by three-time Washington Area Music Association Award honoree Lisa Taylor and vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Stephanie Thompson, the band made its debut at the John F. Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.
Since that inaugural performance in 2008, Beyond Borders' distinctive beyond Appalachian, beyond blues, beyond folk sound has delighted audiences throughout the mid-Atlantic. The band is currently recording a new studio album and producing a companion concert film, Live at the Cabin, capturing a musical and personal chemistry nearly two decades in the making.
