Michael Francis McCarthy is an American roots musician based in upstate New York. Born in South America and raised in rural New Hampshire, he has gathered influences from the many branches of the greater pan-American roots family tree in his travels. Elements of delta blues, bluegrass, early country, Bolivian folklore, Celtic folk, 70s jam and even thrash metal blend seamlessly in live sets featuring original compositions, carefully-selected deep cuts, rich guitar work and powerful vocals. McCarthy has played stages across the country and overseas and performs regularly throughout the Northeast.
