With music in his blood, Jamie McDonald began playing at an early age entertaining people on the streets of his hometown Carlow, in Ireland. With a hunger to learn, grow and follow in the footsteps of the great musical tradition, he paid his dues across Ireland, on streets, in bars, pubs, clubs and theaters. Playing daily on the streets, he learned to engage an audience and grab their attention while also making enough money to move on to the next town. With all day busking followed by night-time gigs, his stamina, experience, and repertoire grew exponentially, making him a true old school troubadour.
