Jim Malcolm

Celebrating the release of his latest CD, 'Still,' a collection of lovely old Scottish songs that have been sung for generations along with a striking original, the stellar Scots singer, songwriter, guitarist and harmonica player Jim Malcolm returns to the area for an evening of warmth and wit. The former lead singer of the popular Scottish band Old Blind Dogs is a former winner of 'Songwriter of the Year' and a multiple nominee as 'Singer of the Year' from the Scots Trad Music Awards, has released twelve critically acclaimed albums, a DVD of his hilarious one-man-show as Robert Burns entitled 'Bard Hair Day' and published the much-requested 'Jim Malcolm Songbook.' Jim has been hailed in Living Tradition as 'One of the finest singing voices in Scotland in any style,' in The Independent as 'One of the outstanding talents to have emerged through the Scottish folk scene in years,'in Dirty Linen as 'One of those pure, warm folk voices that one never tires of listening to' and in The Scotsman as 'Utterly authentic yet completely modern and accessible.' This Jim-dandy's concert will feature traditional favorite (many from his new recording), Robert Burns songs (noting the 255th Anniversary of Scotland's national poet three days hence), Malcolm's own marvelous compostions and lashings of hearty good humor. If you've seen this hugely entertaqining performer before, you'll know the fun that awaits you; if you haven't seen him yet, now is the time to join his ever-growing fan club, The Malcolmtents.
