Braddigan

Braddigan is the solo project of Brad Corrigan, a founding member of the seminal independent band Dispatch. Following Dispatch's 2004 hiatus, Corrigan transitioned into a solo career that prioritized humanitarian activism and intimate songwriting over commercial scale.

His sound identity is defined by a blend of acoustic folk, light reggae rhythms, and a percussive approach to the guitar, reflecting his multi-instrumentalist background. His work often explores themes of global community, spirituality, and social justice, particularly influenced by his extensive time spent in Central and South America. Critically, he is viewed as a bridge between the 90s jam-band scene and the 2000s indie-folk movement. His career arc is marked by a deliberate move away from the 'largest concert in indie history' toward a more grassroots, relationship-driven musical practice. He remains a key figure for fans of the 'New England' acoustic sound, maintaining a loyal cult following through his label Third Surfer.
