Colin's musical background goes way back (that means he's old as dirt)! He took five years of musical training at Edwin's Music Store from 1969-1973. He's been playing in the Buffalo bar scene ever since. Band genres include Southern Rock, Top 40 and Rock & Roll. At one point in Colin's career, he was playing full-time, up to five nights a week. His interests now and for the last four years have been Alternative music.
Some of Colin's band accomplishments are winners of the Best New Group Runner up at the Buffalo Music Awards in 1991. Also in 1991, Colin's band won New Pop/Rock Group given by The Night-Life People's Choice Awards. In 1992 his band won Top Rock Group at The Buffalo Music awards. Colin's personal best accomplishment to date is winning Best Rock Drummer in 1997 with Blind Vision!!! Colin was one of the finalists in the WNY 2003 People's Choice awards for Best Rock Drummer.
One other project that Colin is working on is doing his version of a drum solo called "The Corn Belt Jive". He was offered to do this project by retired B/P/O Percussionist Lynn Harbold. Lynn is putting together a collaboration of recordings from drummers across the Unites States of their version of this solo. Colin is looking forward to going into the studio for this one. As for now, stop out and see the band, have a beer, sit back and let us ROCK YOU!!!!!!Colin plays a bright red Pearl Export Series drum kit mounted on a partial cage. He utilizes one floor tom, two upper toms, the snare and the kick. Cymbals are Zildjian, Paiste and Sabian. They have to be, cuz' be beats the snot out of them!!!!
