Rod MacDonald (born on August 17, 1948 in Southington, Connecticut) is an American folk singer/songwriter. His songs have been covered by Dave Van Ronk, Christine Lavin, Four Bitchin' Babes and Garnet Rogers. He attended the University of Virginia (graduating in 1970 with a degree in history) and Columbia Law School, but during his final year in law school, decided to pursue a career in music after graduating in 1973. He was a part of the 1980s Greenwich Village folk renaissance, performing at clubs such as Speakeasy, The Bottom Line, Folk City, and the songwriter workshops at the Cornelia Street Cafe. His signature song is "American Jerusalem", about the divide between rich and poor people in New York City. He lives in Delray Beach, Florida.

Events

On May 28th, MacDonald led a two-day workshop called 'Songwriting for Self Expression' at the New York Open Center [http://www.opencenter.org] in Manhattan. The workshop, intended for beginning and intermediate songwriters, emphasized finding inspiration and effectively translating ideas into songs.
