NICK COLIONNE - INFLUENCES
Well
into his third decade of making the strings sing with his very own sweet
Chicago soul, guitarist Nick Colionne digs deep as he takes musical stock of
the people and things that helped propel his career and fully establish his
place as one of the real cats, a cat that finds connection with his audience in
a way that not many can. Influences
is a musical journey of self re-discovery, offering a palate of moods and
flavors born of life experiences, challenges and the effect of the people past
and present that have helped shape and mold his sound. Music can be the
ultimate healer not only for the creator but also those of us who seek the
escapism. Nick gets this and you immediately feel him from the opening strains
as he provides lift with this feel good collection of new sides. His chops have
never been more exacting, his melodies more exhilarating, his hooks more
infectious.
Collaborating
again with the great James Lloyd on 'Pieces Of A Dream' and inviting Maysa on
the journey gives 'Influences' just the right amount of spice and pop, but in
the end it is all about Nick as he bears his soul though this collection of
musical chapters in this his latest book, one written with his strings and
sings of the places he s been and the places he still has to go. The lead
single Got To Keep It Moving is certain to fire up his legions of fans and find
its rightful place atop the radio charts. Never one to take what he has for
granted, Colionne knows he has been blessed with a great gift and he will
continue to share it as he connects with his fans through live performance in
2014 and share Influences in a way that only he can.~ Amazon
