Andrew McKee is melody in human form. He has captivated listeners with stunning tunes on a medieval instrument, the recorder. Yet, it's his wit and magnetic personality that lures you in and turns traditional Irish, comedic, and original songs into monuments of hilarity and fun. When playing the guitar as The Irish Bard, Andrew can sing a rousing pub song, play a lively tune, and inspire a crowd to think, to learn, to laugh, and to simply enjoy.
As a founding member of the award-winning Brobdingnagian Bards, Andrew helped define a generation of Celtic comedy music, and his solo project as The Irish Bard carries that torch forward with new arrangements of traditional Irish and Folk music alongside original Comedy and Geek music for the modern age. Whether he's playing a sun-soaked faire stage, a dimly lit Irish pub, or a convention hall packed with kindred spirits, Andrew McKee turns every performance into a ceili — a gathering of stories, songs, and the kind of laughter that follows you home.
