JIM MALCOLM – A gift that surely you will be rewarded for.
“Quietly, unforcefully and undeniably stunning” Mojo
“A master of well-chosen words and melodic inventiveness” Rock ‘n’ Reel
“One of the finest singing voices in Scotland in any style” Living Tradition
“Many harmonica players have made a full career out of less talent” The Herald
“Persuasive vocals and sheer, irrepressible rhythm” Cencrastus
“Jim Malcolm will just melt you in your seat.” The Scotsman
**Please note that Jim will not be in Forest Grove this tour**
For the past 30 years and more, Jim Malcolm has been the ultimate Scots troubadour, taking the traditional songs of Scotland and his own prizewinning compositions to all corners of the UK and around almost every state in the USA. His voice is one of the finest in Scotland, and his mellifluous guitar playing is the perfect accompaniment. He plays mouthorgan to a standard you’ll rarely hear. This year he has another trick up his sleeve, as his wife Susie breaks loose from the office to join him in concert. You may have heard her voice singing harmonies on Jim’s CDs, but with their children off to pastures new Susie is now entering stage left. An award-winning traditional singer herself, Susie sings songs from the North East of Scotland and has a penchant for ballads. Their 2017 debut album as a duo, “Spring Will Follow On” was warmly received and has been widely played across two continents. Together they offer harmonies and humour…tales from the road, the riverside and from the home front, and are not to be missed.

In 2010 Erik Killops returned to his hometown of Portland, Oregon after receiving his bachelor’s degree in Irish Music & Dance at the University of Limerick in Ireland. Shortly after he met recent New Jersey transplant, and bouzouki player, Richie Rosencrans and California native, and uilleann piper, Preston Howard at sessions around Portland. All three were eager to start a project and discovered common interests in regard to traditional music. After a few house gatherings, a weekly performance began at local watering hole the East Burn. In the fall of 2012 flute player, Conor O’Bryan moved to Portland from Chico, California and immediately joined the ranks of the band.
