Chris McGarry and The Insomniacs - Top of the Hill Faculty Concert Series

Growing up on the banks of the upper Mississippi, Chris McGarry spent his earliest years absorbing the culture of the places that river touched. In college he immersed himself in the field recordings available through the Smithsonian Folkways collection. After moving to Denver for a change of scenery, he played around in bluegrass circles before setting out to write his own music and tell his own stories. His debut album, And The Weary Eyes Reply, reflects McGarry's clear roots in Americana.
