Colin Grant
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. Colin has put this experience to use with Sprag Session, playing a dynamic and thoughtful mingling of beats and melodies from an extensive host of musical influences. In addition to playing with the band Sprag Session Colin also performs regularly with the band Coig. Both these bands have toured internationally and are in demand at numerous international festivals. Colin also performing with other artist and band such as Jason MacDonald and Crowdis Bridge
