Brief Bio: Calum, growing up in Northern BC, learned to play the Scottish Fiddle and Guitar at age six. This carried him into his teens when he started writing tunes on his guitar and Irish Flute. Musical influence showed through in the electric guitars and solid bass riffs. His live show is electrically infectious. The connection that Calum has with his audience leaves them thirsting for more. Calum's penmanship showed through in his freshman album (First Born) and sophomore album (Next of Kin). Flash forward a few years and Calum found himself winning Western Canada Songwriting Competition for a "Single Soldier". That album, Calum's third, (Boneshaker) won album of the year in the BCIMA's. (BC Interior Music Awards). In 2010, Calum won the "Band on the Run" competition for "Henry has LOST HIS TEETH!" This tune has attracted radio programmers. Other songs would peak radio interest including KCLA (Los Angeles) and CACH Radio (Vancouver). These songs would comprise album number four for the entertainer’s track record. Calum has recorded three albums as a founding member of the band Kinship and one solo album called "And that's OK with Me". Calum has been invited to perform all over North America at such festivals as NXNE, NXNW, SXSW, COCA.
