Country Joe McDonald, stage name of Joseph Allen McDonald, was a singer, songwriter and a central figure in the 1960s psychedelic rock movement as leader of Country Joe & the Fish. Originally from Washington, D.C., he established himself in Berkeley's vibrant scene, where he began as a street performer on Telegraph Avenue and, together with Barry Melton, founded a band that became known for electrifying shows at venues such as the Fillmore and the Avalon and at landmark festivals like Monterey Pop and Woodstock. Over decades, McDonald alternated between group work and a solo career, releasing records that range from studio albums to live recordings and tribute albums, including notable releases in the 1960s and 1970s and later reissues. His discography reflects both political activism — especially tied to protests against the Vietnam War — and influences from folk and psychedelic rock. Known for his stage presence and for songs that captured the protest spirit of his generation, McDonald left a musical and cultural legacy among rock fans and countercultural movements. He died in Berkeley on March 7, 2026, at age 84, from complications of Parkinson’s disease.
