You couldn’t ask for a better inaugural show for our house concert series than Rod MacDonald. He’s a consummate professional, having written and performed songs since the 1980’s. I was first turned onto Rod when working at The Nameless Coffeehouse in Cambridge, Ma. Fred Small brought Rod up from NYC to play for our Boston crowd. That was a heck of a show, and you can imagine my surprise when 15 years later, Rod calls looking for a gig on his way up to Chicago.
Rod has an endless stream of stories from the road, some involving a case of mistaken identity with a much more famous folk singer from the ’60’s. His song, “I’m Not Bob Dylan” had us practically rolling on the floor.
