Jody Mulgrew
Folk crooner Jody Mulgrew has been playing around the coast of California, writing and performing songs for over two decades.
He received his formal musical training in high school and college choirs, a cappella and vocal jazz ensembles, and received a degree in classical voice. During his final semester of college he bought a Martin guitar with student loan money, and started hitting the coffeeshops of Southern California, playing original folk and americana songs. He soon formed The Johnny Starlings, and recorded two albums worth of eclectic old-time inspired acoustic music with the outfit before releasing a solo album in 2011.
Mulgrew has recorded five albums on his own, and garnered numerous songwriting recognitions like a 2012 Award of Excellence from the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
