Wrapped in his distinctive Appalachian-rooted sound, he still manages to stretch out his musical wings in his 39th and most recent album, Ghost Light. As The Washington Post proclaimed, “He has an uncanny ability to breathe new life into the familiar. His storytelling has the richness of fine literature.”

But it is in live performance that John feels most at home. People of every generation and background seem to feel at home in a concert hall when John McCutcheon takes the stage, with what critics describe as “little feats of magic,” “breathtaking in their ease and grace...,” and “like a conversation with an illuminating old friend.” Whether on record or on stage, few people communicate with the versatility, charm, wit or pure talent of John McCutcheon.
