Colin McGuire

Hello!

I'm Colin McGuire, and my musical journey began at the age of 4 with the violin. At 8, inspired by the movie Back to the Future, I picked up the guitar, a lifelong dream of mine.

 

I started playing in church and made sure to practice every day for at least an hour. At 15, after experiencing a heartbreak, I began writing my own music—and that was the moment music became a constant presence in my life.

​

Since then, music has opened doors for me, allowing me to make lasting friendships, unwind, and even earn a living as a studio musician in New York City. Playing guitar has been incredibly rewarding, and I love sharing that passion with others who are interested. These days, I perform and release music regularly, playing open mics and gigs around the Raleigh/Fuquay area, while continuing to write new songs.

​

I’m thrilled to be here at the Rock and Roll High School!

My musical styles include country, jazz, jam, soul, ska, and acoustic/singer-songwriter.
