Magoo

Magoo is a family entertainer, folk musician, host and general cool guy! He is a past recipient of NLFB’s prestigious Jackie Washington award for his contributions to the festival and to folk music. He was also the recipient of Folk Music Ontario’s Estelle Klein Award in 2017. He is also heavily involved in the iconic Blue Skies Music Festival, serving as president.

As a host and fan himself, he relates to an audience. He is a consummate emcee, a juggling minstrel, the unrivalled sharp dressed man, fast on his feet and the guy to have out front when it is showtime!

You can expect great original songs, energy to burn and plenty of participation when Magoo comes to play. Kids love his performances. Grownups too, find themselves caught up in the songs, stories and merriment. A special dinosaur inlaid guitar, a mandolin, his trusty ukulele and a suitcase full of fun transform any space to his place. It’s an invitation for the audience to ‘step into Magoo’s world’ and sing songs about dinosaurs, space ships, constellations, messy rooms, turtles, school buses and beautiful rivers. There’s always fun to be had and lots to learn.
