For some music is a career, for others it’s a calling. Doricana may be Colin
Clyne’s debut album, but it’s built on years of touring, years of honing his acoustic guitar based mix of
Celtic, folk and pop influences.
A native of Stonehaven, Scotland, Clyne now divides his time between his homeland and Southern
California, with a sizable following in each.

Clynes introduction to music was via his mothers record collection, a mix of international acts such as Bob Dylan and Neil Young, with homegrown heros, such as The Corries or the Furey’s. Though he began to
make music by the age of 16, directly inspired by Oasis, an accident to his hand took away his ability to
play until he was in his mid twenties. This only increased his resolve to become a touring artist, kicking into overdrive from the moment a guitar was back in his hand.
Playing shows in both solo and band mode, Clyne has become a seasoned road vet, impressing crowds at venues ranging from Hollywood’s infamous Viper Room, to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, San Diego’s House of Blues, to Scotland’s Tartan Heart Festival and all manner of stages in between. Now sponsored by Timberline Guitars, with a hand built model for touring, Clyne has also been a regular on European radio with numerous appearances, including Northsound Radio Aberdeen, Radio Norwich and Leith FM.
