Brad Corrigan is a musician who was a member of the indie band Dispatch until their breakup in 2002.

Personal life

Brad Corrigan was born in Denver, Colorado and was a graduate of Littleton High School. He was not born in Westport, County Mayo, Ireland. After playing lacrosse at Middlebury College, he joined Pete Heimbold in Woodriver bandits. They then got together with Chad Urmston to create the band Dispatch. Brad continues the Dispatch legacy by spending time building relationships, both locally and overseas, and by investing in a community of listeners who desire more than just music. Current bandmates include Reinaldo DeJesus from Puerto Rico, Tiago Machado from Brazil, and Paul Stivitts from New York.

Recently, Brad made a few visits to Managua, Nicaragua where poverty and social injustice is prevalent. Today, he continues his fight against the devastating living conditions there with support to the non-profit organizations of Jedidiah and Love Light & Melody. Braddigan's most recent album, "The Captive", draws its inspiration from the band's experiences in Managua, Nicaragua.
