Catch Of The Week: Liam Coleman
Meet Liam Coleman from Charlton, MA
This high school senior could school most of us on work ethic, alone. Liam Coleman is a multi-instrumentalist, full time student, and a songwriter and singer. At a time when many 17 years old are enjoying “senioritis,” and just riding along until graduation, Liam is creating, performing and mapping out his musical future, in addition to homework, classes and practice.
Coleman, despite his young age, has been at it for a long time. Drum lessons started in first grade. Then there were family concerts, school jazz band, and playing drums for a popular rock band in high school. All this lead Liam to become the singer and songwriter he is today. Mature beyond his years, disciplined, talented and incredibly focused, this New England artist has what it takes…to take it to the limit.
Fire Up The Coleman
Liam’s deep, rich vocals carry the catchy hooks in his brand new single, “Upside.” The story is simple, honest, age appropriate and relatable.
