Trace Bundy & Andy McKee in Colorado Springs

Trace Bundy is an American acoustic guitarist known for instrumental fingerstyle music built around two-handed tapping, harmonics and percussive techniques. His recordings include Adapt and Elephant King, while his arrangement of Johann Pachelbel’s “Canon” became a widely circulated performance video. Live at the Boulder Theater documented his solo concert format, in which he uses looping and multiple guitars to construct layered arrangements onstage. He has taken that repertoire to theatres and listening rooms in the United States and abroad, and “Canon” has remained part of Trace Bundy’s live work.

Andy McKee is an American acoustic guitarist and composer, born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1979. He plays instrumental fingerstyle music built around alternate tunings, two-handed tapping and percussive techniques. A performance video for “Drifting” brought his work to a wide online audience, while “Rylynn” and the album Art of Motion became central pieces of his catalogue. At the 2010 Crossroads Guitar Festival at Toyota Park near Chicago, he performed “Drifting” as part of a major guitar showcase. His headline concerts center on solo steel-string acoustic guitar, and he also uses harp guitar in selected pieces. In 2012, he played arenas as a guest on Prince’s Welcome 2 Australia tour.
