Colin O'Brien CD Release w/ Bill Camplin
Colin O’Brien CD Release w/ Bill Camplin! One current, and one former, renowned Milwaukee songwriters join forces, with Colin releasing his newest record Thirteen!
Colin O’Brien’s music is informed by the past and speaks to the present. A playful performer, Colin delights his audiences with fiery melodies, groovy rhythms, soulful lyrics, fancy footwork and old time hat tricks. His banjo, fiddle and guitar playing, percussive dancing, and lyrics all express an earnest regard for the traditional, natural and true.
Colin is touring with pre-release copies (Physical and digital) of his solo guitar recording “Thirteen.” Recorded in his newly built Nashville studio, Thirteen is a bold and beautiful collection of original works that packs the creative lightning of Leo Kottke’s most memorable records.
“These are great recordings.” -Ted Drodzowski, Editor, Premier Guitar
“I Love This.” -Brittany Haas, American bluegrass fiddler
“It hit me with a wave of joyful surprise. Colin is an important figure in the American Primitive tradition. -Craig Havighurst, WMOT Nashville
On his tour though the Great Lakes region he will be playing “Thirteen” in its entirety.
A concert not to be missed!
