Rod MacDonald is an American singer-songwriter, novelist, and educator. He was a “big part of the 1980s folk revival in Greenwich Village clubs”, performing at the Speakeasy, The Bottom Line, Folk City, and the “Songwriter’s Exchange” at the Cornelia Street Cafe. He co-founded the Greenwich Village Folk Festival. He is perhaps best known for his songs “American Jerusalem““A Sailor’s Prayer”, “Coming of the Snow”, “Every Living Thing”, and “My Neighbors in Delray”, a description of the September 11 hijackers’ last days in Delray Beach. His songs have been covered by Dave Van Ronk, Shawn Colvin, Four Bitchin’ Babes, Jonathan Edwards, Garnet Rogers, Joe Jencks, and others.  Since 1995, MacDonald has lived in south Florida where his CD, “Later that Night”, was named “Best Local Cd of 2014” by The Palm Beach Post[3] and reached the top ten in national roots music charts.

Singer-Songwriter Grant Livingston has been playing at the Luna Star Cafe since its opening in 1997. In Grant’s songs you can meet armadillos, pythons and barnacles, pioneers and invasive plants, or get a sailing lesson in three easy verses! As a guitarist he employs a mix of ragtime, country blues, and early swing. A cross between Jimmy Buffett and Sesame Street, Grant was recently named one of the “Ten Greatest South Florida Folksingers of All Time.” Grant was the Artist in Residence at Everglades National Park (AIRIE) in 2019, and appears nationwide with Ranger Gary Bremen as half of “Songs and Stories of Our National Parks”.  Grant has been appeared at venues throughout Florida, including libraries, schools, state and national parks, and festivals, including 30+ years at the Florida Folk Festival. 

Join us at Luna Star for a wonderful evening as we welcome back two of our local favorites!
