BIO
Colin Stetson was born and raised in Ann Arbor, MI and earned a degree in music from his hometown school, the University of Michigan, in 1997. Six years in San Francisco followed, then another four in Brooklyn, NY. Since 2007, Colin has made his home in Montreal, Canada.
Throughout the past decade Stetson has developed his unique solo voice on saxophones and clarinets, culminating in the 2008 release of his debut solo record New History Warfare Vol. 1. As a soloist he has performed countless shows in a variety of contexts and in front of diverse audiences, from intimate rooms to jazz/new music festivals like Moers and London Jazz to rock stages opening for Arcade Fire, The National and others.
His second solo album New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges is due for release in February 2011 on Constellation, co-produced by Shahzad Ismaily and mixed by Ben Frost.
