"McCaffrey & Rooney Present"
​Colin McCaffrey & Brett Hughes
with special guest Jim Rooney
Friday, January 17th​ at 7 pm

Brattleboro native Colin McCaffrey has a huge musical resume going back to being a graduate of the
Berklee College of Music, then performing with many regional artists, including the Stone Cold Roosters,
the Clayfoot Strutters, Patti Casey, Jim Rooney and many more. Colin is a multi-instrumentalist,
singer, award-winning songwriter, recording engineer and record producer.

Brett Hughes has been a long-time collaborator in the dynamic Burlington, Vermont music scene,
as member of seminal local and regional bands (Decentz, viperHouse, Chrome Cowboys, Monoprix),
and has been a singer/songwriter/bandleader in myriad VT-based outfits. 

In 2005, he won a regional Emmy Award for soundtrack composition (for Jay Craven's Windy Acres 
on Vermont Public Television), and was voted Vermont’s 2023 and 2024 Best Country Artist 
in the Vermont weekly Seven Days “Daysies” poll.
Now living in Warren, VT, he’s been fortunate to play regularly with mandolin virtuoso Matt Flinner,
performed at the Green Mountain Bluegrass and Roots Festival with banjo maestro Noam Pikelny 
and Seattle-based Eli West, and enjoyed a long collaboration with golden songbird Kat Wright,
as well as some of Vermont's most accomplished musicians. 

Now if he could just finish up and release his dang record album(s)....

Grammy winning producer Jim Rooney is best known for his work with Nanci Griffith, John Prine, Iris DeMent,
​and Hal Ketchum, to name a few. For over 50 years Jim partnered with the legendary banjo player Bill Keith,
recording several landmark recordings together.
