CREATIVITY is my greatest joy — it’s something I inherited from my mother," says legendary songwriter and singer Jimmy MacCarthy.

It’s a gift that seems to keep on giving. At an age when he could easily be contemplating slowing down, he continues to compose and practice his craft. “I’m working on songs all the time. I’m working on guitar playing and vocal work. Every day has a part of this discipline.”

This discipline and focus drives his year-long nationwide tour with nephew Christoper MacCarthy Wall accompanying him on piano, guitar, and vocals.
