John McDermott invites audiences on an unforgettable musical journey withTo Remember, To Give Back— a moving celebration of courage, gratitude, and the songs that connect generations.
From humble beginnings to sold-out performances across the world, John’s remarkable career has been guided by a simple lesson from his own father after witnessing John’s triumphant 1994 performance at Toronto’s Royal Alexandra Theatre: “Son, you might be good at this. And if you are, make sure you thank those that gave you this chance: Canada and the veterans that gave all for it.”
With his signature warmth and powerful voice, John honours that promise through an inspiring evening of beloved wartime ballads, Celtic favourites, and timeless classics, including The Green Fields of France, Waltzing Matilda, I’ll Be Seeing You, Danny Boy, and many more. Rooted in the values of his Scottish and Irish upbringing — fairness, compassion, and giving back — John brings heartfelt storytelling and emotional depth to every performance. To Remember, To Give Back is more than a concert; it is a tribute to sacrifice, a celebration of community, and a reminder that understanding our past can inspire our future.
John McDermott is joined by two extraordinary longtime collaborators: master guitarist Jason Fowler and acclaimed violinist Drew Jurecka, whose musicianship adds richness and elegance to this deeply memorable evening.
