About

With her expressive voice and crisp guitar style, Colleen ((link hidden)) can deliver tender, heart-felt songs, touching a chord with every listener. Songs of love and loss accompanied by songs of passion and longing make her a favorite among coffeehouses and weddings alike. Her influences include Kelly Willis, Nanci Griffith, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Joni Mitchell. Please visit Colleen's other web page at (link hidden) for performance information for her Celtic band, Kilted Spirit.

A classically trained guitarist, she’s been playing since she was nine. She has studied with such notable classical guitarists as Christopher Parkening, Manuel Barrueco, and David Tannenbaum. When she was just 16, she took to the roads of Mexico and toured with the Grossmont Guitar Ensemble. She also began teaching guitar at the International Music Center in San Diego, California.

Colleen is constantly in demand for weddings and other events around the Phoenix area. She is available as a soloist, as a duo with her husband Chris on bass, guitar, and Irish bouzouki, as a trio with a drummer, or as a full four-piece band with a fiddler.

Here are some of the testimonials from satisfied clients:
"My husband and I went to see Colleen perform last week with some friends. WE ALL LOVED IT!! Her beautiful voice and wonderful guitar playing made our 'rare night out' so enjoyable. I highly recommend going if you can. You will have a great time!"

-Donna Slaybough, Anthem, Arizona

"Colleen - I just wanted to thank you for making our daughter Katie's wedding so special last Saturday. Your music was wonderful and we received numerous compliments on it from neighbors, family and friends. If you ever need a referral please just let us know and we would be glad to provide one for you. Thanks again."
