Doc MacLean
Dublin City, Co. Dublin
8 August 2025
Doc MacLean; legendary, solo acoustic blues and stories: one of the last of the true road warriors, playing live at Little Whelan's on Friday 8th August 2025.

Forty-five years ago Doc MacLean was playing Charlie Patton songs in Son House’s living room. More recently he’s been self driving across Africa with a battered National guitar and a small PA, playing in places where things are burning by the side of the road.

Now a celebrated, solo storyteller-songwriter in the delta tradition, Doc performs as many as 200 shows annually across Canada, United States, Ireland, UK, and greater southern Africa.

Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
