McAndrew performs Friday at MSU Lyceum event
John McAndrew
A Tennessee-based pop and blues singer-songwriter brings his brand of musical storytelling to Mississippi State for a Friday [Nov. 4] concert in historic Lee Hall.
John McAndrew’s 7 p.m. performance in the Bettersworth Auditorium is the latest in the university’s 2016-17 Lyceum Series. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
General admission tickets are $25 each and may be purchased at www.union.msstate.edu/student-activities/lyceum/tickets. As long as the supply lasts, free MSU student tickets may be picked up in advance at the Center for Student Activities in Suite 314, Colvard Student Union.
A Wisconsin native now living in Nashville, McAndrew taught himself to play a range of instruments, including the saxophone, flute, guitar, harmonica and piano. Along the way, he became skilled at songwriting, with the goal “to tell stories, say important things and make them easy to understand.” More biographical information is found at www.johnmcandrew.com.
