**PAGE IN PROGRESS, TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE SOON!

Instrumentalist wonder, a master at leading into a song with a story” THE SUN

“This is…Steinbeck with a guitar” FLAGPOLE

“The multi-instrumentalist wonder, a master at leading into a song with a story” THE SUN

Seven-time Grammy nominee JOHN McCUTCHEON, master instrumentalist, powerful and prolific singer-songwriter and storyteller, introduces Field of Stars, with songs from yet another new CD due for release next year!

“Too many songs is a nice problem to have,” he says. “I love these stories and want to share what I found therein."

For fifty years he’s toured the world, and has appeared on our stages whenever he tours this way, thrilling audiences song after song, story after story.

Whether in print, on record, or on stage, few people communicate with the versatility, charm, wit or pure talent of John McCutcheon. The Smoke Rise, GA based musician - whom Johnny Cash once referred to as “the most impressive instrumentalist I’ve ever heard” - is a charismatic performer. He’ll be sharing the new music, as well as beloved favorites, live.

Long one of America’s most respected and loved folksingers, McCutcheon is master of a dozen different traditional instruments, most uniquely the rare and beautiful hammered dulcimer. Hailed by critics and singers around the globe, his dozens of recordings have garnered every imaginable honor. He has also produced over 20 albums of other artists, from traditional fiddlers to contemporary singer-songwriters to educational and documentary works; his books and instructional materials have introduced budding players to the joys of their own musicality. His commitment to union work and other grassroots political organizations has put him, like his friend and mentor Pete Seeger, on the front lines defending issues important to communities and workers.
