Colton Warren

Saturday, Apr 5, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Colton Warren is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from the Twin Cities area who embraces a variety of musical styles. In the vein of Jack Johnson and The Lumineers, Colton uses his six string guitar and rich baritone voice to create music that sounds like waves, whiskey and wanderlust. Colton also integrates his 12 string guitar into live sets, building an atmospheric sound that is both soothing and vibrant. Whatever the instrument, his songs are crafted to inspire listeners in their own creativity.   With a penchant for travel and adventure, Colton has had the opportunity to play around the country. His most notable events have been in his home state, and include Art-A-Whirl, MSP Airport, The Minnesota Historical Society, and the popular musician showcase, Songwriter Rounds. He has also been invited to play private events at art galleries and photo studios across the US. Perhaps his most unique concert was “Music in the Trees”, an event that took place in the middle of the woods where he performed from a deer stand.    For updates, recordings and show times check out www.coltonwarren.com or follow him on Instagram @colton.warren.music.
