Family & Community Concerts
and Artist Series Appearances
With over three decades of
performing experience in the U.S. and
abroad, several artistic awards (see
Resume) and the distinction of
being on
the Ohio
Arts Council Touring Roster for many years,
Jim McCutcheon is one of those rare performers who can
relate to audiences of any age, or any combination of ages. With a broad
repertoire ranging from classical guitar music from around the world to folk
music of the USA,
Jim adapts each performance to the venue. Concerts
for grandparents and their grandchildren are a specialty.
In addition to having performed
in England and Russia, Jim has performed in Orlando and Phoenix, as well as in many
communities around Ohio, including Akron, Lakeside, Warren, Beavercreek, Fairborn, Troy,
Waynesville, Oakwood, Lancaster, Sylvania, Defiance, Cambridge, Portsmouth, Hamilton, Centerville,
Springfield, Minster and Celina. He performs annually at MiddFest International
Festival, Ohio libraries and the Very Special Arts Festival
held annually at
Wright State U.

"We had preschoolers,
elementary students, middle schoolers, some MRDD
groups, and several senior citizens groups all in the same crowd! Jim
met the challenge with a mix of classical repertoire, some blues, and
lots of audience interaction as he played each of his many instruments.
At one point we had all
sizes of children and even nurse-assisted
seniors dancing with him onstage! Generation gap? Not here. How often
does that happen ? Thanks, Jim!"

"...including all ages that enjoyed your gentle approach
with children. Parents
love to see their children interacting and performing and
you provided a
wonderful opportunity for this. Your musical instruments are
beautiful and
you expand our knowledge of music and history as well.
