Three-time WAMMIE winner Mac Walter is an exciting, versatile, dynamic master of the guitar. In the 1960’s, Mac developed his unique fingerstyle approach to playing folk, rock, blues, jazz, and country. Walter has toured with Johnny Winter and Deanna Bogart, as well as playing with other DC legends including Danny Gatton and Roy Buchanan.
Mac and his cousin, John Cronin, began playing together as teenagers and developed their unique style over the past 35 years. Both are talented in their own right but when they play together, the acoustic fingerstyle and gorgeous harmonies are amazing. Cronin, who lives in British Columbia, spent seven years working in the hugely popular Ian Tyson Band touring Canada and the USA. Mac Walter and John Cronin have produced two CDs entitled Cousins and Second Cousins.
The Maritime concert series is sponsored by the Todd Purring Family and the Holiday Inn Select Solomons.
