Winfield (Walnut Valley Festival)
|
|
 The third weekend in September is "Winfield Week!" The Walnut Valley Festival has welcomed Andy and Lauren for 25 years, and it has become something of an annual homecoming! It's always a highlight of the year.
This year Andy will be leading a pre-festival songwriting workshop and two Acoustic Kids workshops as well as performing throughout the festival.
Always jam-packed; always fun and uplifting! If you've never had a chance to go, you owe it to yourself to do it. If you're going this year -- see ya there!
Attention, Acoustic Kids applicants!
The application deadline is earlier this year-- in the interest of stress reduction for everyone involved. Officially, the deadline is August 25, but we will have a grace period this year to accommodate those who didn't notice the change. Just get them to us by August 31, please. Application forms and details are available on the Walnut Valley Festival website, Applications may be submitted online or by mail.

Retroflections Has Arrived!
Andy's new CD is a collection of songs from his road warrior years… on CD for the first time.
What a joy it’s been to go back and put together the recordings for this project – to revisit the times, the songs, and the music! I was fortunate to have been able to make and record this music and to work with the wonderful musicians and engineers on these tracks. – Andy
Retroflect: (v.) 1. To turn or bend back on itself. 2. To think about, or reflect on, past events and the times that shaped them.

New Archival Videos Posted!
New live footage from two cool Andy May shows is up online. There are eight new videos, and you can watch them on YouTube or Andy's website video page ( A Musician's Journey playlist)!! Many thanks to Katie May for doing the heavy lifting on formatting and uploading these clips!
Andy May & band: Live in TN, 1998:
 We recently came across this footage from an informal concert Andy gave at Sumner Academy in Gallatin, TN.The all-star band consists of :
-
Kenny Malone: drums
-
Jim Heffernan: steel & acoustic guitar
-
Gary Hooker: electric guitar & background vocals
-
Kenny Lewis: bass & background vocals
-
David Russell: fiddle
Jim, Gary & Kenny Lewis were all members of Brad Paisley's band at the time, Kenny Malone is a Music City icon, and David is a fine Nashville session player. It was a treat for Andy to do the show with this crew!
With Curtis McPeake & Friends at the Station Inn, 2012:
 Andy participated in honoring and backing banjo legend Curtis McPeake at this show. The band consisted of:
The crowd was fantastic, and the show was really a lot of fun!

MerleFest 2013
April 24-28, Wilkesboro, NC
What a great weekend at MerleFest! Andy performed a set on the Cabin Stage, one at the Songwriter's Showcase, and did a community outreach show at a local school. We also staged 4 Youth Showcases this year rather than the usual three-- so much wonderful talent! Thanks to everyone who came out to Andy's shows and to the Youth Showcases -stage crews, MC’s and sound people, too. We are thankful that we once again had the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful festival.
