Colin McEnroe – Host of the 30th Anniversary Litchfield Jazz Festival and The Colin McEnroe Show
Colin McEnroe is a radio host, newspaper columnist, author, playwright, lecturer, moderator, college instructor and occasional singer. He started as a radio host in 1992 and moved to the not-for-profit CT Public in 2009. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Hartford Courant, Hearst newspapers, Men’s Health, Cosmopolitan, Forbes FYI, Mademoiselle, Mirabella, Backpacking, Bicycling, and McSweeney’s. Colin teaches in the political science department at Yale. He has shared the stage as an interviewer with Stephen King, Anthony Bourdain, Joyce Carol Oates, Kurt Vonnegut, Amy Tan, Bob Woodward, Al Franken, Anita Hill and many others.
Colin is allergic to penicillin. He dislikes coffee mugs that are black or any dark color. He finds them very upsetting. All his eccentricities notwithstanding—or perhaps because of them— we welcome him with open arms to Litchfield Jazz Festival!
