“Hey, I live in Nashville, which means I have a deep hatred for country music of the type blaring from speakers along Broadway as a soundtrack to vomiting bachelorette parties and pedal taverns decorated to look like a case of PBR. But your music reminds me of artists like Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson, who I’ve always admired.” - Dietrich Stogner
As a critically acclaimed alt-country troubadour, Colin Fowlie has covered a lot of literal ground sharing his songs, stories, and musicianship with audiences across Canada and the USA from dive bars to theatres and festival stages. He turned heads with his debut full-length album "Party Music" and has demonstrated tremendous growth and exploration as an artist, making an emphatic statement with his sophomore album "East of Nowhere" in 2021.
Fowlie continues to evolve his craft not only as a singer-songwriter, recording artist, and producer, but also as an actor, earning a "best supporting actor" award at the 2023 Silverwave Film Festival and joining the cast of the hit musical "Rock of Ages" presented by Rogue Productions.
Colin co-founded East & Nowhere Songsmiths in 2023, a boutique recording studio and artist services agency with the goal of helping independent artists create compelling songs that demand to be heard. A passionate educator, mentor, and content creator, Colin spends the balance of this time with this family or exploring the world on two wheels with the wind in his face.
