Elon University will host musician John McCutcheon on Monday, Sept. 7, for its Labor Day Concert in McCrary Theatre.
The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be streamed live at www.elon.edu/live. A limited number of tickets to attend the concert in person are available for students, faculty and staff at www.ticketreturn.com/Elon.
The safety and health of attendees is a top priority. Masks will be required of all attendees. Seats are limited and separated following spacing requirements due to COVID-19. Both entrances into the theater will be utilized to avoid crowding and six-foot distancing will be enforced throughout the facility. There will be no seating in the first two rows.
Described as “Virginia’s rustic renaissance man,” McCutcheon’s repertoire is rooted in a sense of community. His traditional selections and his huge catalog of original songs make a profound mark of place, family and strength. McCutcheon’s storytelling style has been compared to Will Rogers and Garrison Keillor, and very few communicate with his versatility, charm, wit and pure talent.
McCutcheon is the master of a dozen different traditional instruments, most notably the rare hammer dulcimer. His songwriting has been hailed by critics and singers around the globe. His 30 recordings have garnered multiple honors including seven Grammy nominations. McCutcheon has produced more than 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.
