The Cabot Folk Club Presents, Patti Casey and Colin McCaffrey

Patti Casey and Colin McCaffrey are two native Vermonters who have sung and played together for decades. Both are award-winning songwriters with multiple solo recordings.

Through five majestic, award-winning albums, Patti Casey has pioneered the creation of a unique New England genre of folk-storytelling-bluegrass whose signature sound has since been imitated yet remains unmatched. She has performed at elite levels of artistry for so many decades –songwriting, musicianship, performance, and social advocacy – that words like “acclaimed,” “magical,” and “transformative” only begin to capture the scope and reach of her talents. Patti has been showcased on NPRs Prairie Home Companion and has performed on many national stages. Seven Days wrote: “Patti Casey offers some of the finest vocals and creative songwriting you’re liable to hear anywhere…a voice like expensive chocolate.”

Colin is the consummate multi-instrumentalist. If an instrument has strings, Colin can play it. His music draws on influences from jazz, country, bluegrass, blues and folk. As a highly sought-after sound engineer and producer, Colin has produced hundreds of records for Vermont artists. The Burlington Free Press calls Colin “A Green Mountain treasure worth unearthing.”
