Colin McGrath Album Release Party
NPR Music calls Colin McGrath an "Itinerant Folk Orchestrator." Though based in New York City for the last eight years, he has been a musical explorer since he started making music. Fascinated by telling stories with lyrics and finding the right musical language to support them, his musical wanderings have led him to many countries, through many styles of music, to many different life experiences.
Colin has recently been featured on WNYC's Soundcheck with John Schaefer. He has been back to Ireland and UK since winning the competion to tour and to play The Belfast Nashville Festival again. He currently performs and tours solo, with his own band, or in a trio with Jason Harrod and Reid Maclean. The trio opened up for Martin Sexton in February 2010, and is featured prominently on McGrath's soon to be released album.
