MacAuthor Family  

Dan, Gary, and Megan MacArthur grew up and live on MacArthur Road in Marlboro, Vermont, surrounded by the traditional folksongs of their mother, Margaret MacArthur.  This, supported by their rural lifestyle, influences their music as they continue the traditions of ballad singing, songs of country life, and fiddle tunes.  Megan’s voice, called “a clear fluid instrument” in SingOut magazine, her simple bass playing, Dan’s talented guitar work, home made songs and great singing, all combine with Gary’s harmonies and rough and tumble style of fiddle playing, to create a sound that effortlessly carries the listener deep into the history and culture of traditional Vermont life.
