Andy McKee @ Lestat's

Andy McKee played at Lestat's in Normal Heights. Lestat’s is a coffeehouse so I was curious how the performance would be staged. Well, Lestat's also has the empty store next door for concerts. The opening act was disappointing since Kev was seated on a slightly raised platform and seated concertgoers were at the same level. No view at all.
Thankfully, Andy stood for his performance. His guitar skills are more awe-inspiring than his youtube videos. And the right amount of banter between songs, explaining the song’s inspiration and the guitar type being used.
