Cary Morin in Concert w/ Special Guest Phil Cook
NorthStar Church of the Arts proudly presents, Cary Morin in concert:
Described as one of the best acoustic pickers on the scene today, Cary Morin brings together the great musical traditions of America and beyond like no other. With deft fingerstyle guitar and vocals that alternately convey melodic elation and gritty world-weariness, Morin crafts an inimitable style often characterized as acoustic Native Americana with qualities of blues, bluegrass, jazz, jam, reggae, and dance.
Crow tribal member and son of an air force officer, Morin was born in Billings, Montana. He spent the bulk of his youth in Great Falls, where he cut his teeth picking guitar standards at neighborhood get-togethers, before relocating to Northern Colorado. There, his musical career hit the ground running with The Atoll, a band he founded in 1989 and that toured nationally, gaining a devoted following. Later, he achieved international acclaim with The Pura Fé Trio, for whom the single Ole Midlife Crisis, which Morin wrote and performed with Pura Fé, placed at number 17 on Frances iTunes blues chart. With The Atoll and The Pura Fé Trio, and as a solo artist, Morin has played celebrated venues across the globe, including Paris Jazz Festival, Winter Park Jazz Festival, Folk Alliance International, River People Festival, Shakori Hill Festival, the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, and most recently Rochefort En Accords festival in France and The Copenhagen Blues Festival.
Cary Morin's stage credits also include Tribeat the Celebrity Theater in Phoenix, and co-authorship of Turtle Island, a 50-member production that played two consecutive years to sold-out audiences in Northern Colorado. With the Red Willow Dancers, he was a guest of the internationally renowned Kodo Drummers, performing at their 1998 Spring Festival and additional dates in Japan. He has produced or performed on over 18 recordings, and has toured across the US, as well as Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, and the UK. Morins performances have reached millions on national TV in Japan, France, and the UK, as well as on national radio in the US (NPRs Beale Street Caravan), UK (BBCs Whose London), France (RFI), Switzerland, and Belgium.
Cary Morin is a unique and brilliant guitar player, songwriter and singer, says renowned folk musician David Bromberg, extolling the virtues of one of his favorite players. Its hard to pick out what he does best. As a guitar player, I have huge respect for Carys style and technique on the guitar. If you havent heard him yet, you should. Try to remember that its only one guitar. - Dan Forte for Taylor Wood & Steel Magazine, June 2018.
