We introduce you to Colin Cannon and ask him a few question ahead of his forthcoming gigs
Who are you ?
Colin Cannon, solo singer/song writer.
Made plenty of mistakes in life, but always made sure I learned from them. Writing about them creates a memory anchor for each lesson. Lived. Loved. Travelled. Now I’m singing about it.
What do you do ?
Couldn’t give you a specific genre, maybe Alternative Acoustic Story Telling? Haha
For fans of…. ?
Nathaniel Rateliff Paolo Nutini Shakey Graves Tallest Man on Earth
Where are you going ?
Aim for more gigs locally. Bigger venues, bigger audiences. Hopefully I can start making a connection with people. If any of the stories I’m singing about resonate with some of their experiences, good or bad, I’d be delighted.
Where can we catch you ?
I have a Facebook musicians page.
Upcoming gigs: ‘Under Canvas’ Eden Court outdoor bar and event Friday 27th of July. (17:30 sharp) ‘Madhatters’ 4th of August (time to be confirmed)
I also really like to attend open mics to Sharpen the tongue. Good atmosphere and good for practicing new songs.
Anything else?
My best pal used to do me a favour whenever I was about to go on stage, to help me focus. He would remind me: “Remember man, don’t sing the song….tell the story.” People often ask me how I came up with the songs or tell me that they could never do anything like that and my response is always the same; “Tell the truth and the words will fall right out your mouth.”
