Jim Malcolm is a voice that stands out and has made a strong mark on the Scottish music scene both as a solo performer and as a member of one of Scotland’s most respected groups, Old Blind Dogs. The same year Old Blind Dogs won the Scots Trad Music Award as Group of the Year, Malcolm won the Songwriter of the Year award. Malcolm’s talent for penning and performing music that reaches deep inside the listener is known worldwide. Most recently when he performed at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, a visiting Scottish dignitary said, “What Alasdair Frazer does for Scottish heritage with a fiddle and bow, Jim Malcolm does with his pen, guitar and voice. The listener feels what Scotland is all about when he sings.”

Malcolm is currently on a U.S. tour that starts in Arizona and then makes its way east. He is one of the few solo performers that can carry the weight of the audience along as he weaves his tales through lyrics and a laugh.

“Once you hear him you will know why Malcolm has been called “the new male voice of Scotland,’” an event spokesperson said. “This is a rare opportunity to hear one of the best musicians Scotland has to offer in an intimate, relaxing atmosphere.”
