Cary Morin
This is acoustic blues at its finest, and most deftly played. As compelling as is Cary Morin’s voice, it’s his fingerstyle guitar work that tells his stories. Through him flows blues, jazz, bluegrass, reggae and jam in a distinct style often characterized as Native Americana. A Crow tribal member from Montana, Cary Morin now calls Colorado home. In addition to solo recording and touring, he also performs with Young Ancients with John Magnie and Steve Amedée of The Subdudes. Catch Cary Morin on the Blues Stage.
Also, a big congratulations to the runner-up Johnny Boy Kunk!
