My favorite memory of Kevin was him playing a solo set at the Mercury Room in Portland.  Just him and an acoustic guitar.  Blew my mind.  Wish I had a recording of that.  Damn.

(From his obituary) 
Portland - Kevin Colgan, 49, died on Thursday, March 11, 2021 at Maine Medical Center in Portland. Kevin was born on December 12, 1971 in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania, the son of the late John G. Colgan and Molly Colgan Donovan. He  graduated in the Class of 1990 from Northampton High School, in Northampton, MA. After graduation, Kevin moved out west to pursue music. He played and recorded in Los Angeles, then moved to Portland, Oregon. There he joined the band Molly Cliff, later formed Sharon America, and ultimately Western Family. He wrote and recorded some amazing albums and performed his original songs in venues across the country. Music was always central to Kevin’s existence. He was an exceptionally talented guitar player with a beautiful voice, but it was his capacity to weave poetry with melody, harmony and innovative chord progressions that defined his songwriting.
