Experience traditional and contemporary songs from Scotland performed with guitar and harmonicas, warmth and wit.
Jim Malcolm is one of Scotland’s finest singer/songwriters. He was the lead singer of the Scottish band Old Blind Dogs for seven years and is now focusing on his solo singer-songwriter music. With Jim Malcolm you can expect to hear traditional songs and ballads, his own compositions, and compelling stories, told both through singing and on their own.
Jim first performance in Auburn was on Super Bowl Sunday, 2009. At intermission Jim handed over the show to his mate Robert Burns (see photo below), quite the rascal. At the 2010 AHC performance Napoleon Bonaparte, George Washington and others joined the show. We welcome Jim back for a fifth time to Auburn House Concerts again on Super Bowl Sunday, 2019.
Samples from many of Jim’s recordings are available on JimMalcolm.com.
We recommend his music and comedy DVD in honor of Robert Burns’ 250th birthday, Bard Hair Day—Robert Burns Returns.
