“Cahalen is making music the world needs.”— TIM O’BRIEN
Returning to play for Carningli Nights Out is the most wonderful Cahalen Morrison. He played outside under the tent a few years ago, we now get to see him inside our
taproom, we can’t wait.
Originally hailing from the high desert of Northern New Mexico, Cahalen has been touring solo, as a duo with Eli West, and with his band Western Centuries over the
past 15 years. Cahalen has performed on stage with the likes of Tim O’Brien, Kelly Joe Phelps, Hot Rize, David Grisman, Dirk Powell, Crooked Still, Sierra Hull, Jerry
Douglas, Phil Cunningham, Aly Bain and Kris Drever.
Well known for his singular turn of phrase and curiously poignant songs, he dips deep into the well of tradition while continuously pushing boundaries of contemporary songwriting. Cahalen is equally at home on guitar, banjo, mandolin, singing three part harmony or unaccompanied. Cahalen has played all over the United States, Canada, The UK, Ireland and Western Europe, and at festivals such as Transatlantic Sessions, MerleFest, Red Wing Roots, Rockygrass, Wintergrass, Celebrate Brooklyn!, Strawberry Music Festival, Sisters Folk Festival, Meadowgrass, Timber!, Shetland Folk Festival, Larmer Tree, Kilkenny Roots Festival, Celtic Connections, Bluegrass Jamboree and many more.
Cahalen is now based in Glasgow. Currently working on exciting new projects, he is also a regular at many sessions, eats as much black pudding as possible and can be
found in one of the many beautiful parks or along the Clyde with his dog most evenings.
