John McCutcheon is the 21st century’s traveling minstrel, a cultural icon who performs on multiple instruments and sings songs that open the heart and mind. His Wolf Trap audience can look forward to selections from “Sermon on the Mound,” his latest recording, which pays homage to baseball.

The original songs celebrate his love of the sport from the age of 5, when the televised World Series launched a lifelong romance. “I Am Here” expresses his joy in visiting Cooperstown and seeing the trophies and mementos of his heroes.
