Colin John Band
Band Biography

  • From: Columbus, OH
  • No. of Members: 4
  • Year Established: 1994

The Colin John Band plays, as London's Mojo Magazine described them,'Ferociously entertaining funked-up RnB'.The band tours internationally to hordes of blues, jam, soul, funk and rock fans and loves the interaction and synergistic energy exchanged between them and the audience.They play a wide variety of music, that is firmly rooted in the blues but with the excitement and energy of rock, the improvisational and free-wheeling spirit of jam bands and the grit of soul and funk.

The Colin John Band is Colin John on guitars and vox, Scott Turner on drums and percussion, Harlem Pinata on bass and Bob Corlett on organ and piano.Each member has a vast and varied musical background including blues, soul, funk, RnB, jazz and rock.

2006 has been a very busy year for The Colin John Band with the release of their new cd, 'Acousticland Lady' on Rockview/Universal/Fontana Music.The band has recently played The Vaison Jazz and Blues Festival in France, The Monterey Blues Festival, Briggs Farm Festival, Lock 3 Live, The Creekside Blues Festival and scores of other dates both at home and abroad.There have been collaborations with Michael Hill, from NYC's Blues Mob as well as with Scott Holt, Buddy Guy's former guitarist.In addition to this, Colin has been collaborarting with Hawaiian musician Bob Jones, with The Transpacific Bluesmen on Maui and Ray Fuller in an all acoustic National Guitar duo called,'Ray Fuller and Colin John's National Debt.'The Colin John Band will continue to tour all the time this year and look forward to playing new places and meeting new friends and fans.

Experiencing The Colin John Band is like going to a BBQ at The North Mississippi Allstars house, with Jimi Hendrix at the wheel and Bukka White ridin' shotgun.
