Respected multi instrumentalist Darrin Cranney realized a dream while making his latest recording Echoes of Voices. It features a who's who of Canadian musicians. Members of The Tragically Hip, Blue Rodeo, Dala, The Dust Poets, Secret Suburbia, as well as acclaimed solo musicians such as Duncan Cameron, Loretto Reid, Kim Deschamps and Silvio Simone all lent their talents in support of this recording.

"I consider the style I play 'Contemporary Canadiana Rock/Folk'.  I grew up on Canadian music by amazing artists such as Gordon Lightfoot, The Tragically Hip, and everything else in between so it seemed natural to combine those influences.Truthfully I have very wide musical tastes and influences. During my University studies, I was immersed heavily in traditional and contemporary Jazz & Latin. Over time I have simply decided on Folk/Rock styles to filter those and other influences because it naturally feels like 'home' to me." 

A recent review from acclaimed Canadian author and columnist for the Globe and Mail Roy MacGregor describes Echoes of Voices as   "Fabulously cottage-esque.  Channels some great vibrations, yet has a distinct feel and sound. Songs like Muskoka Chair illustrate the simpilicty of better days, and provide a foot-tapping escape from reality to dock life."

Originally from Orillia Ontario, Darrin grew up in a large music loving family and chose to study music formally.  After years of extensive experience in the studio and performing live as a sideman with some of Canada’s finest musicians, Darrin is now promoting his own material to critical acclaim.
