Colin McConnell/Southpaw

Colin is a guitarist, vocalist and songwriter for star Southpaw (2023 Country Group of the Year and 2023 Modern Country Song of the Year - Josie Music Awards). Born into a musical family, his indie music journey began at age 15 when he cast aside the trombone for the more socially viable guitar and began studying influences such as Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. By age 20, Colin was writing and producing songs on four-track recorders. He’s written and produced more than 100 songs since, and his roots in rural Pennsylvania have manifested in a passion for country music that infuses Southpaw.
