What people say

From the venues and hosts I play for

Colin is officially a summer tradition for our family! We first met Colin while he was performing at a winery event and we were so impressed by his incredible catalog of music that we have now hired him for our annual backyard party three years in a row. He plays all genres for all ages, making it impossible not to sing along (which we do, very loudly!). Colin is a fantastic talent, a wonderful sport, and our summer simply wouldn't be summer without him.

Colin is an incredible musician who always brings great energy and talent to Britannia Brewing. His performances fit our vibe perfectly, keeping the crowd engaged and entertained. A true local favorite!

About

Over 30 years on stage

I'm Colin, and I've been performing for over 30 years. I play acoustic guitar and sing, from folk and rock to pop and the songs everyone knows, Springsteen and Elton John to Taylor Swift.

I read the room. That means easy background music while people eat and talk, and singalongs when the night's ready for them. Ask for a song and there's a good chance I already play it.
