Testimonials
“I have worked creatively with Colin for the last 12+ years, & can sincerely attest to his genius. As a working bass player for the last 50 years, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with countless guitarists, & Colin stands out above the rest. His ability to understand the project’s purpose is incredibly intuitive. In addition, his ability to get something entirely unique out of his hands & gear is quite singular. Whether electric or stripped down to acoustics, his tone, melodic compositions, textures & voicings are really exceptional. No matter the genre, he levels up the music being made.”

“I had the best experience working with Colin on a handful of songs. I did some pre-production work with him to explore different perspectives in the arrangements. He blew my mind when he showed me how to serve the song and his knowledge on his instrument, taking my songs to the next level! What really sets him apart is his instinct in the studio. He doesn’t just play parts — he elevates them. Whether it’s crafting tasteful textures, laying down the right rhythm work, or delivering expressive lead lines, he has a way of making everything feel polished and intentional without ever feeling overdone.”

“I’ve had the privilege of working with Colin on a couple of projects, as well as playing numerous live shows with him. Colin is hands down the most uniquely gifted guitar player I have ever worked with. I think of him as an audio painter that always seems to paint with beautiful colors I had never even seen before. His approach to a song always brings the creative touch that the song really calls for. I would count myself very blessed to work with him again, and I would highly recommend him for your project.”

“I’ve had the pleasure to work with Colin in the studio. He is extremely thoughtful and knowledgeable when it comes to capturing “the sound” that you’re looking for. He does not just bring the perfect tones and amazing parts, but he also brings years of professional music experience. In other words, he knows what he’s doing. Trust me on that. Bringing Colin in on your music won’t just be someone to play guitar, he will bring the magic you’re looking for.”

“Colin did guitars for our worship project and we could not be happier with the way they came out! If you have a specific idea in mind, Colin can nail it every time but also has the creativity to come up with his own sounds and parts on any songs if needed! He is one of the best and cleanest guitar players I have ever worked with and his work ethic is second to none! Colin’s work blew us away and was always delivered on time. He is one of the best studio guitar players I know. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough.”

“I’ve been producing records for 10+ years and have had the privilege of working with top tier session players here in Nashville. Colin absolutely stands out among them. Not only are you going to get professional chops and playing ability but his attention to tone and recording is in its own class. Colin treats every project as if it was his own and gives every song the care and attention it needs to make sure you’re walking away with guitars that are unique and completely elevate the recording. If the budget allows, I’m hiring Colin.”

“Colin absolutely nails anything set in front of him. With complete knowledge of his instrument and excellent attention to detail he is a Swiss Army knife that gets the job done. I had him produce and track guitar parts and he did not disappoint.”

“Colin is very thoughtful about his tone, capture, and feel. By far, he is one of the most dynamic guitarists I’ve ever recorded alongside. It is one thing to own excellent, timeless gear, and a completely different thing to know how to use it and create his signature sound by tactfully placing pedals between the input of his guitar and his amazing collection of amplifiers. Colin is intuitive about what songs need and cares deeply about complimenting the song and coloring it with guitars in an original way. I’m so thankful for his playing and care for my own songs.”
