Biography

6-Time Grammy nominee John McCutcheon tenders his 36th album of his 40+ year career with 22 Days. From his earliest days as a 20-year-old college student hitchhiking the blue highways of Appalachia studying with the likes of Roscoe Holcomb and Janette Carter, he has emerged as one of America's best loved, most prolific, and most respected folksingers. With multi-instrumental prowess on every traditional string instrument, his greatest triumph may be his role in the re-popularization of the rare and beautiful hammer dulcimer. He is what sports enthusiasts call a "5 Tool Player": a stunning instrumentalist, a mesmerizing storyteller, a powerful vocalist, a live performer of unique skill, and a songwriter whose skills range from award-winning children's music to symphonic works to what the Boston Globe called, "mastery in the rare art of the ballad."
