2026 Connecticut College Arboretum Summer Concert Series Father's Day & Make Music Day Concert
Advertisement
A special Father's Day & Make Music Day concert featuring the father/daughter singer/songwriter duo of Roy Dunn MacLean and Sarah Mac along with special guest artists Brandt Taylor (guitar) and Corina Malbaurn (upright bass).
Roy Dunn MacLean is a performing singer-songwriter living in Southeastern Connecticut, originally from Somerville, Massachusetts. His love of music began at an early age with his father’s Saturday night jamborees. He began playing professionally at age 15, playing everything from Hendrix to Haggard. When asked who his biggest influences are he replies that “Guy Clark made me want to write songs and Merle Haggard made me want to sing them.” Whether it’s playing solo or duo in an intimate setting or with his full band you will surely be entertained.
Hailing from the east coast and married to a deep love of storytelling, Sarah Mac weaves songs of love, loss and the human spirit that feel timeless and deeply personal. With a voice that blends natural strength and vulnerability, she paints vivid portraits of life’s highs and lows - drawing inspiration from an experience that seems equally familiar with deep sorrow and powerful joy. Whether performing on renowned stages or in the warmth of a living room, her lyrics capture the essence of everyday life—it's quiet moments, its struggles, and its beauty. Known for her authenticity and heartfelt connection to her audience, she is carving out her place as an important voice in the New England singer-songwriter landscape.
