After nearly a decade without new studio releases\, he returns with Symbol\, a six-track EP out September 17 on Mythmaker Records and Cruzen Street Records. \n“These are my interpretations of tunes that inspired me\,” says McKee. The EP reimagines works by major influences like Michael Hedges\, Preston Reed\, Billy McLaughlin\, and Prince. Its lead single\, “Ragamuffin\,” pays tribute to Hedges\, whose ability to write emotionally resonant solo guitar music deeply shaped McKee’s style. \nA standout moment is McKee’s haunting take on Prince’s “Purple Rain.” Having toured with Prince in 2012\, McKee first arranged the song for the “Welcome 2 Australia” shows. “Prince taught me to keep the music—not the technique—at the forefront\,” he recalls. \nOther highlights include Preston Reed’s “Chattanooga\,” which McKee calls “one of the finest fingerstyle pieces ever written\,” and the “Rocky IV Medley\,” created with Vince DiCola\, whose soundtrack compositions inspired McKee as a child.\nRenowned for transforming the steel-string guitar into a one-man orchestra through tapping\, altered tunings\, and percussive techniques\, McKee has earned millions of YouTube views—his song “Drifting” alone surpassing 60 million. He’s been featured on the covers of Acoustic Guitar and Acoustic magazines and hosts his own guitar retreat\, Musicarium. His global tours have spanned Europe\, Asia\, Australia\, and North America\, sharing stages with icons like Tommy Emmanuel and Dream Theater.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][nectar_btn size=”large” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” solid_text_color_override=”#ffffff” icon_family=”none” text=”Tickets Coming Soon” url=”https://whitehorse.ie/andymckee/”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Rónán Ó Snodaigh And Myles O’Reilly
DESCRIPTION:Rónán Ó Snodaigh and Myles O’Reilly bring together rhythm\, language and immersive sound in one of the most quietly distinctive collaborations in contemporary Irish music. A founding member of Kíla\, Ó Snodaigh’s voice moves between chant\, song and incantation\, shaped by the Irish language and decades of boundary-blurring performance. Composer and filmmaker O’Reilly builds spacious\, atmospheric environments where words are given room to breathe and unfold. Together they favour presence over spectacle\, creating live performances that feel less like concerts and more like shared\, attentive gatherings\, intimate\, hypnotic and emotionally direct. \nThe duos second album The Beautiful Road\, a soulful blend of folk\, traditional and ambient crossover follows the success of their debut album Tá Go Maith\, which was warmly received by Irish audiences after its release in May 2020. \nIn The Beautiful Road the pair set out to create a soothing listening experience by focusing on higher frequencies\, inspired by the calming effects of nature\, while also seeking to counter the increased levels of intrusive ambient ‘white noise’ caused by traffic\, machinery\, and other unpredictable sounds arising from the world’s post pandemic return to frenzied norms.
