I stumbled upon this insanely talented artist not long ago, and I've been absolutely floored by the beauty of his music. Without hesitation, I bought his newest album for my girlfriend and I. He is astonishingly good. If a man could ever feel the music he plays, it is Andy McKee. The ONLY musician to make me cry since I first heard Dance With You. I can't show you his whole catalog, but I can highlight some tracks:

Andy McKee - Africa (Toto cover)

Andy McKee - Drifting

Andy McKee - For My Father

There's another video of his called the friend I never met.

What is that instrument he is playing??? Looks like some sort of modified guitar. I've never seen anything like this.

It's sort of a guitar-harp hybrid. I call it the "Guitarp", but I'm probably doing it a huge disservice.

All I know is that I NEED to learn to play guitar one tenth as well as Andy McKee can. This is the kind of thing that makes love happen.
