Alan MacEwen

For 35 years, Alan MacEwen has been the lead singer and guitar player for Washington, DC’s The Grandsons. His musical journey has included multiple recordings, travel to far-flung locales such as Europe, China, and El Salvador, and performances with legends like Ronnie Spector and Willie Nelson. His solo performances often include a cowboy song or two, some New Orleans jazz, old country songs, and even his own compositions. His audience-focused performances are always warm and engaging. It doesn’t take much provocation to get him to reach for his very first instrument, the trumpet, which he still loves to add into the mix.

Decades ago when Alan MacEwen stood in front of the chalkboard in 7th grade history class to give his oral report about the European Common Market, he was nearly frozen with stage fright. He eked out a generous ‘C’ from the teacher for the resulting fiasco. Fast-forward to the present, and you would never suspect this engaging, confident public speaker with a fancy degree from Duke University is the same person. Alan has been lecturing on the retirement community circuit for four years now and loves few things more than engaging with a curious and enthusiastic audience.

What Clients Have Said About This Performer:

“Thank you so much for sending this! Our residents loved the lecture on Elvis Presley yesterday and talked to him about coming next month to do the Life & Music of Frank Sinatra.”

Geoff White

I play dances, weddings, private parties, and public performances. I also present hybrid lectures/concerts on the music of the Civil War.

A “Gumbo” Fiddler
I’ve been playing the violin/fiddle since I was four. Trained classically, when I was a teenager I fell in love with Irish music. I was also raised listening to a lot of Cajun music, which manifests in my musical style, which is a hybrid “accent” of classical, Celtic, Cajun, and old-time southern influences (I’m from the mountains of North Carolina, where the accent of the mountains became part of my musical expression).

Gumbo is a pot with all sorts of things thrown in, usually whatever you have on-hand. In this way, I consider myself a gumbo fiddler, combining the elements I was raised with and influenced by into my own unique flavor.

Repertoire
I play a range of styles:

• Old-Time
• Celtic
• Classical
• Cajun
