Artists:Rod MacDonald
From WWR
|
Born and raised in a small Connecticut town, Rod MacDonald was educated at the University of Virginia and Columbia Law School. Drawn to music since childhood and artistically ambitious by nature, it was not unexpected that during his final year at Columbia, and having done a stint as a correspondent for Newsweek magazine, he put aside all thoughts of a legal career and instead dedicated himself solely to music. Already performing since his early college days, he graduated from Columbia, never took the bar exam and remained in New York.
Rod became a major part of the '80s Greenwich Village folk renaissance, and appeared onstage with notables like Pete Seeger, Tom Chapin, Dave Van Ronk, Suzanne Vega, Doc Watson, John Gorka and Emmylou Harris. Rod frequently headlined at New York's Speakeasy and Folk City clubs, and his unforgettable performance at The Bottom Line of what became his signature song, his "American Jerusalem," was heralded by fans and media alike as a "defining moment in folk music history."
In his trademark balladeer style, Rod artfully weaves together a tapestry of journalistically insightful lyrics and poetic imagery, offering up to listeners entertaining, thought-provoking honesty--and often humorously satirical commentaries on a variety of topics that invite and inspire his listeners to come to their own conclusions. Although among Rod's works are a number of enchantingly romantic love songs, when his satire is turned towards politics and current events, he is at his wittiest. read more
