Short company description:
Dave MacCutcheon is the founder and creative force behind MAC — Made American Country — a modern Americana project shaped by lived experience, movement, endurance, and the landscapes of American life.
Written from Cape Cod to New Mexico, Nevada to Iowa, Hawaii to Florida, his songs reflect roads traveled, risks taken, victories earned, and chapters survived. These are not studio-manufactured stories, but songs built from real places, real people, and the pursuit of something greater.
Blending country, Americana, roots rock, and cinematic storytelling, MAC’s music explores freedom, identity, reinvention, faith, and the enduring spirit that connects generations of Americans. His debut release, “America 250 Proof™,” featuring Brian Iannucci and guitarist Mike Estes (formerly of Lynyrd Skynyrd and Blackfoot), marks the beginning of a larger body of work rooted in heritage, resilience, and modern American storytelling.
Lyrics:
We were ink on a page a spark in the night
Thirteen Voices Standin’ up to fight
No crown above us, no tax we’d pay
An idea that wouldn’t fade away
The Bill of Rights for you and me
A force of change for humanity
We answered allies when they made the call
This nation refused to let them fall
We don’t run from the light, or break or bend
Just light it up and do it again
No apologies for the red, white, and blue
World keeps turnin’ ’cause what we do
From the ground to the sky, sea to the moon
Yeah, call it freedom, call it truth
Call it America, two fifty proof
Crossed a continent, on wagon wheels
We laid down the rails, sweat and steel
Cut through mountains, carved out the land
Connected the oceans, an American plan
From Kitty Hawk to the lunar face
Chased the edge, won that race
One small step, the whole world knew
What a free man’s dream can do
We don’t ask for permission, don’t stand in line
Write our story, one line at a time
Not perfect, no -just stand and prove
There ain’t a damn thing we can’t do
No apologies for the red, white, and blue
World keeps turnin’ ’cause what we do
From the ground to the sky, sea to the moon
Yeah, call it freedom, call it truth
Call it America, two fifty proof
We reach out in your time of need
Bring the power and the will to feed
When the world shakes, when waters rise
We show up fast – no compromise
No apologies for the red, white, and blue
World Keeps turnin’ ’cause of what we do
From the ground to the sky, sea to the moon
Yeah, call it freedom, call it truth
Call it America, two fifty proof
Old Glory flyin’ higher
America, -Two Fifty Proof
