John McEuen brings with him 50+ years of worldwide performing with his
banjo, fiddle, guitar, and mandolin. Often referred to as ‘the
String Wizard’, he weaves stories of his travels and family life (he
has raised 7 kids), taking us through where his musical path has taken
him.
A Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founding member in 1966, John initiated the
1972 classic Will the Circle Be Unbroken album, (inducted in to the
Library of Congress as ‘one of America’s most important
recordings). Proud of being an integral part of America’s first band
to go to Russia (28 sold 0ut shows in 1977!), John’s love of
performing has been evident since his teenage Magic Shop days in
Disneyland. McEuen’s show takes us ‘behind the curtain’ of the
music world that so many of us know of only as listeners and shows us
how we have all been a part of it, more than we may know.
McEuen’s Sirius/XM show, Acoustic Traveller, is in its 10th year;
his Americana Music Show is on Syndicatednews.net (of which he is
CEO). He has earned Emmy nominations, Grammy Awards, CMA acclaim, The
Western Heritage Award - other accolades are on his
website: www.johnmceuen.com.
Honored with the 2010 Best of the West Performer award from the Folk
Alliance organization, John’s show is sure to be one enjoyed by all.
He also won Best Bluegrass Album Grammy that year for his production
of The Crow – Steve Martin). In June of 2013 he was honored with the
Charlie Poole Lifetime Achievement Award.
With music from 1800’s to now, original songs laced with known hits,
(his current Made in Brooklyn album earned the Independent Music
Award’s recognition as Best Americana album!), and a special tribute
to the ‘Circle’ album music and its stories, it all comes to life
in an evening of acoustic music in overdrive.
In 2017 Deering Banjo company introduced the “John McEuen model”,
complementing his induction into the American Banjo Museum Hall of
Fame.
Upon release April 2018, his book – The Life I’ve Picked -débuted
at #1 on Amazon’s country music books chart.
