"A Colorado Musician Sings of Rivers and Art"
“...Morin has turned a lifelong fascination with the Western artist Charles M. Russell into a suite of songs…” Morin recently spent time in the Alabama studio of Grammy-winning producer Trina Shoemaker, who mixed the 13 or so songs.

Through the songs, I was able to visualize these unseen paintings with uncanny clarity and feel the powerful emotions that would surely be inspired were I to see Mr. Russell’s paintings firsthand.”
Shoemaker was impressed by Morin’s intelligence, humility and humor, and added, “I think this record is a masterpiece worthy of its place among the great works of art it was created to honor..." - Steve Paul, KC Studio Magazine, January 3rd, 2023 Read more here...
Cary Morin Nominated for the Colorado Spirit Award!
The Colorado Spirit Award recognizes Colorado artists and institutions that are uniquely part of the fabric of our extraordinary state.
Montana native Cary Morin has been in Colorado since just after high school, and he’s become an essential, integral, and unique part of its musical and cultural landscape, blending indigenous wisdom and spirit with folk, blues, and authentically Western Americana. He’s performed at just about every venue in the state and is preparing to release his ninth album, Innocent Allies, this fall. The Fort Collins icon, who is a Crow tribal member with Assiniboine Sioux and Black heritage, sets an example for young Front Range musicians that the road is as important as the studio and the land is just as important, and has as much to say, as the people on it.
