about

The legendary Chuck McDermott continues to deliver the same potent top-shelf American music he conjured with Wheatstraw and The Chuck McDermott Band, and later as Americana elder John Stewart’s closest conspirator. McDermott’s soaring Irish-via-Iowa tenor and 21st Century tales of red, white and blue glory, romance and woe are filtered through his rock-the-honky-tonks sonic signature.
