Dead Rise

While singer, writer and guitarist Andrew McKnight has been a prolific songwriter, performer and recording artist for a quarter century, Treasures in My Chest is his first full-length book. A former engineer with advanced degrees in Environmental Engineering and Chemistry, he turned his scientist's eye and songwriting skills towards his family history. He has released nine recordings, and performed at many prestigious venues like the John F. Kennedy Center, the International Storytelling Center and the Atlanta Olympics. Andrew has used his writing skills to write songs with kindergarten kids and wounded warriors coping with post-traumatic stress. He is a gifted workshop leader, an engaging speaker, and a longtime endorsing artist for Elixir Strings and Fairbuilt Guitars. Mr. McKnight lives in Lincoln, Virginia with his wife, daughter and a considerable cadre of friendly ghosts.
