Tom McCuin

Tom McCuin has been singing songs of love, whiskey, and rebellion – but not necessarily in that order – from Maine to Miami since 1993. Starting with the Florida-based acoustic trio James’s Gate, and later as a co-founder of the acclaimed Boston Celtic rock outfit Hiring Fair, he has shared the stage with some of the best modern Irish and Irish-American acts including The Wolfe Tones, Cherish the Ladies, The Prodigals, and Black 47. War and fatherhood – also not necessarily in that order – took him offstage for a time, but encouraged by several gigs in Peggy’s backyard, a few pandemic livestreams, and some recent appearances pinch-hitting for the area’s more established Irish acts, he’s in the midst of his musical comeback here in the National Capital Region.
