Cape Breton
Hard-driving but clean, lively and passionate, traditional yet original--Colin Grant's fiddle playing has inconspicuously stepped to the forefront of the East Coast traditional music scene and people are sitting up and taking notice. Although most at home with traditional Cape Breton fiddle music, his versatility as both a lead and side musician has given him experiences in a variety of traditional styles, in addition to folk, rock and country genres. Besides having received an ECMA nomination for Roots / Traditional Solo Album of the Year for his self-titled debut album, Grant has performed in the United States, France, Ireland, United Kingdom, China, and Indonesia and currently fronts the new Celtic funk/rock quintet Colin Grant Band. His second full-length album entitled "Fun for the Whole Family" has garnered him two ECMA nominations in 2011, and the award for 2010 Roots/Traditional Recording of the Year from Music Nova Scotia.
During Celtic Colours this year, Colin will also be playing with his band, Sprag Session.
